beroun Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi Gents, have another one. Few aircraft (Project Airbus mainly) take off too rapidly. Just after gently pulling on the yoke at V2(or gently tapping #2 numerical pad) the aircraft goes into extremely steep climb and the yoke needs to be pushed forward for a while to get to reasonable VSI. This sometimes causes rapid loss of altitude. You help me a LOT to correct the Steep descent (Many! Thanks again). Any chance to help me with this take off problem. Many thanks for any advise.

tgibson_new Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi, It appears you may be pulling too far on the yoke. Part of piloting a jet airliner is to pull the exact amount needed and no more. This does vary with the aircraft, so you may need a bit of retraining when transitioning to this aircraft before you get it right each time. Keep in mind that the aircraft should NOT rotate at V2, but should wait until rotation speed (Vr). So be patient, don't pull back any further until after Vr. Another thing you could do is wait a moment before pulling on the yoke (waiting closer to Vr) and then pull - the rotation should start almost immediately and might be easier to control.

Roger Wensley Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You could also need to adjust your trim before take off. A Beaver is a very different plane to an airliner but in real life (and in simulation I was happy to find) it makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefpee Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You might have overdone the flap pitch change for correcting the glide slope - I presume you are taking off with a bit of flap? As well as checking the elevator trim, you should also check your C of G position - passengers, fuel, baggage. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beroun Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks Gents, you are all right. I tend to switch the aircraft too much. Bit enthusiastic about all the types available, I guess. Will play with the flap pitch scalar and lift scalar, which seems to do the miracles and fine-tune each aircraft. In either case will probably limit my hangar to stick to few aircraft only. Cheers and MANY thanks for all your responses. Peter Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
