747-8 Takeoff

#1

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what trim and what speed to rotate to not tail strike the 747

#2

It depends on weight but probably about 175-185 knots
And probably 10-15%
I may be wrong so don’t quote me on it though

#3

My recent flight with 94% load was 177kts

#4

I have 64 percent of fuel

#5

Was it tailstrike

Trim depends on your calibration. The takeoff speed of the 748 would usually be 155-175 depending on your weight. Look at the topic I posted and you will see the takeoff/landing speeds for all aircrafts in the sim.

#7

Can someone just tell me trim, fuel for 3 hour flight and rotate speed

#8

Like I said before, trim will depend on how you calibrated your device.

Do you have other things like cargo and passengers? If you do, put 4-4:15 hours of fuel.

Assuming that you have only fuel and no pax/cargo, takeoff speed will be 155kts, if you do have pax/cargo, takeoff speed will be 165kts.

You will need Flaps 20 (yes you heard me right) if you’re really gonna get off the ground. Minimum 45 trim for heavy loads.

You need more trim and that’s far too fast of a rotation speed
