500' vis - 150m low vis.....seen more than a few guys rotate and roll over on that one!!
I'm no expert - some around here have been doing this one for over 20 years - but a little if it helps.
Track what you can see of the runway centreline and lock it in........do not cycle the rudder. The problem of not being able to see towards the end of runway can lead to some viscous cycling - muscle memory and lock it. A good PNF will assist you in the low vis with current tracking or deviation etc or even the LLZ up can help....
I find a "little" forward pressure on the elevator helps with the rudder control, especially during stronger crosswinds. Dont forget a little aileron to keep wings level.
When rotate - rotate on the PFD and hold the rudder - do not release the pressure. Hold it. Aileron to hold wings level.
PFD pitch bars are at 2.5 degree intervals.....I'm a bit of a monkey so I use the Gorilla rotate ...... I say to myself as I rotate ..."1 banana (2.5 degrees), 2 bananas (5 degrees), 3 bananas (7.5 degrees)....4 %^$bananas(10degrees with extra backpressure)...but most importantly the correct rate will have you at V2 flying away with the gear down.
Wings level with aileron - rudder locked.
Retracting gear - if you hold attitude current attitude to maintain V2 - when you select gear up - the gear doors open, extra drag and below V2 you go on the IAS....then the inevitable fight to get speed under control. Plan ahead. As you select gear up, nose down 1/2 degree and as you reach towards the end of the gear retraction cycle - raise the nose 1.5 degrees to maintain V2.
As Noip says - lift the downside of the aileron control wheel with rudder OR alternatively "squeeze" the skid indictor on the PFD back to the neutral position.
When under control - bring the track box on the ND into the scan or the track pointer on the bottom of the PFD and continue on your merry way cursing
a - the overhaul facility for a &^&($#& crap engine
b - cost cutting
c - bad coffee
etc etc
Smile and wave boys - nothing to see here - move along!
Really nasty is an engine surging on a 767 during rotate......
