Steering left while takeoff

1

hi guys in airbus 900 when I rotate it always roll to lefts while climbing. is it either due to more speed or less speed during rotate.

same for me but I don’t know why. I just try to correct with the rudder. Maybe anyone else knows the reason ?

its probably crosswind guys the go check out the user guide and make sure u calibrate before takeoff but if its not idk

OP mentioned they’re rolling… this could potentially occur because of gust and crosswinds. Unbalanced fuel weight can also be a reason. As well as not calibrating the device properly.
…We need more parameters: MTOW, IAS, weather conditions…

Hi, It’s likely winds that affect you transitioning from the runway environment, until you are aloft and drifting (“synchronized”) with the wind.

If so, additional control technique can help resolve that.

Alternatively, it wasn’t your speed falling off from too steep a climb?

Do you have a screen shot showing hud view?

may be a little steep climb but the issue is it just happens when i begin
to rotate

i calibrate it right b4 takeoff roll

That looks like wind yeah (I believe it always shows 0 knots in replay but the direction makes sense), just use some opposite rudder while rotating

IRL pilot here. This aircraft behaviour is completely accurate in the event of a crosswind on takeoff where the pilot has no corrective control inputs. For crosswind takeoffs, we use both aileron and rudder to maintain control of the aircraft.

In your scenario you would’ve had a crosswind from the left because, on rotation, the aircraft starts to yaw to the left (weather-cocking effect). Some, but not a lot, right rudder will keep the aircraft tracking the runway centreline. Once airborne, slowly let out the rudder to allow the nose to swing to where it wants to be. Also, some upwind aileron is required to keep the aircraft level. So for this example, a little left aileron would stop the roll when rotating. Practice the technique on solo-mode, starting with 5kts crosswind, then 10kts and slowly ramping up once feel comfortable.

Remember it this way: LEFT crosswind, LEFT aileron, RIGHT rudder. And vice versa for a right crosswind. Hope this clears some stuff up!

It is wind as in the ATC log, it says “wind 170 at 10” and then clearing then for takeoff.

Is there any tip for crosswind landings you might have to stay on the localizer path and thus land on the centerline?

Thanks a lot, this will help me a lot

Here is an official IF YouTube video that may help 😊
