AIRBUS FTO
Ive finally been faxed the AIRBUS FTO, it states:
The aircraft rotated to 7deg nose up at its Vr of 150kts....... the nose was then lowered to 3.5deg nose up before being raised again and TOGA selected.
The takeoff occured 17secs after initial rotation at 9deg nose up and CAS of 174kts.
3 tyres blew as the aircraft trampled the rwy end lights. The tyres fragged the flaps causing them to be stuck at 1+F.
After dumping fuel the aircraft blew 4 more tyres on landing.
