I don't pilot airliners for a living, but I'd like to get a word in here anyway.. .. .As you'll have more drag at 10 degrees pitch than before rotation, why would you want to accelerate at 10 degrees pitch? If the airspeed is what is worrying you, you could accelerate faster if you just delayed your rotation.. .. .You all know the reasons for not delaying rotation I guess and I think the same applies here.. .. .Cheers,. . /ft
