Airhunter Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Couldn't really find anythig on the checklists. Do you usually take off ashore and on a carrier with 0 elevator trim or are there some specific settings for the various configurations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSigma Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Guage it on the situation. If on the carrier, loaded with ordinance, shorter runway, just adjust the flaps manually to the circumstance. On an empty jet with a decent length of the runway, you don't really need flaps; just start your roll at 140-150 knots and she'll fly off the runway. If you need more lift just manually bring flaps down accordingly to give yourself some more lift.

mkosmo Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Couldn't really find anythig on the checklists. Do you usually take off ashore and on a carrier with 0 elevator trim or are there some specific settings for the various configurations? I've found 0 trim on shore, start adding some nose up off the boat with load. 0 off the boat, no load. Guage it on the situation. If on the carrier, loaded with ordinance, shorter runway, just adjust the flaps manually to the circumstance. On an empty jet with a decent length of the runway, you don't really need flaps; just start your roll at 140-150 knots and she'll fly off the runway.

dave9810 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Reading the NATOPS all I can find is land takeoff = 0 Trim Cat launch depends on CG% and end airspeed Still looking to find CG% calculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory205 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Can't go wrong in the sim with 3 degrees ANU. The entire stab moves, and without control pressures, it really doesn't matter on takeoff. After that, trim is your friend! Viewpoints are my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
