Rotation is initiated at Vr. Rotation of the airplane not the action of pulling the control wheel back. Vlof occurs 3 secs later (that's the airplane not the nosewheels); 15-16' all engine attitude. Written for -600-900 from an empty airplane to a max gross weight one; from 30kts of HWC TO 15kts of TWC. I think all engine attitudes are variable by a couple of degrees or so. So let's say 14' to 20' in reality depending on scenario. The techniques of the FCTM should be practiced but the numbers are a ballpark. When the original FCTM came out it said liftoff attitude was 8.2' for F1 and also F5. We all knew it wasn't and low and behold it's since changed along with FR decision not to use F1 for takeoff if avoidable.
