DarkFire Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 What is the maximum angle at which aerobraking should be performed to avoid a tail strike? Does the maximum angle alter with weather conditions, e.g. crosswind?

SinusoidDelta Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 From the -1 limit pitch to 15 degrees to avoid dragging the tail. Approximately 13 degrees for normal aerobraking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks. :thumbup: System Spec: Cooler Master Cosmos C700P Black Edition case. | AMD 5950X CPU | MSI RTX-3090 GPU | 32GB HyperX Predator PC4000 RAM | | TM Warthog stick & throttle | TrackIR 5 | Samsung 980 Pro NVMe 4 SSD 1TB (boot) | Samsung 870 QVO SSD 4TB (games) | Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Baz000 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 put the big W between the 10 and 15 lines, no higher that that... on the pitch scale and hold it there until the nose comes down by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
