The general technique I used on the 400 - the points are a little overlapping, but you get the drift. All people can do is talk about how they handle the situation, and for you to read and try and get something from it.

Normal caveats apply.
  • Keep the aircraft straight with rudder initially, then lock your rudder as you reach rotate and use aileron to keep the wings level until you are safely flying away.
  • At "rotate" .. THINK ... pause, and then play the rotation rate to allow the airspeed increase to stop at V2 - typical attitude for reduced thrust would be about 13 deg from memory. We were always instructed on specific rotation rates, however that is not much good if you get to the attitude with the wrong speed.
  • Once you are safely flying away with the gear retracted, correct rudder to allow level yoke with wings level. Think of it as "push rudder to lift the low side of the yoke".
  • TRIM Rudder
  • Engage Autopilot
Three issues:
  • Is more thrust available?
  • Rotating mechanically to the nominated attitude will have you airborne below V2 (been there, done that)
  • Remember to raise the gear (embarrassing if you don't)
Hope some of this helps.

PS .. yes, as you approach 10 deg, the pitch response becomes less - an increase in backpressure is required, BUT the speed is the thing. You need V2.
