Pitching degree for departure

[Ben_G]

Hey guys, when taking off I see you need to pitch for 15 degrees how do I see on the hud when is 15 degrees is there an amount of lines I need to pass on the hud display to hit a certain degree pitch? Thanks!

[AvioesEJogos]

Each line equals 5° of pitch.

[Ben_G]

Ok thanks.

Hi, note that if you are at 15 degrees while still on the ground, it would most likely cause a tail strike on the runway.

But yeah, after clear of the runway 15 degrees is the third mark.

hello, I have a similar question but I normally climb on autopilot, what should the ideal vert speed be, I normally do around 3800-5000

Hiya! Climb rate depends by aircraft usually due to performance, you can view some general guidelines for most aircraft on this page below.

Aircraft Performance Database

You should also try looking at some QRGs (Quick Reference Guides) per aircraft here.

This means that the information may not always be accurate and can often depend on the weather conditions. Here is the air…

Yes, pitch up slowly 3*/sec with positive rate until 20 feet RA (clear of runway tail strike).

Yeah that’s really helpful, found the answers to most of my questions, thanks mate!
