Hello everybody,
since a while I have a discussion with friends about the correct procedure during T/O, regarding forward pressure.
In my eyes the correct way to do a 737 T/O, is giving light forward pressure in the low speed part, e.g. up to 80 knots and once the rudder is working releasing the pressure. Approaching Vr I am trying to find the pressure point in the elevator dead band so I could smoothly rotate a Vr.
Most of my friends hold the fwd pressure a lot longer and at Vr they have to overcome the dead band before rotating.
Apart of the little information in th eFCTM I am not able to find an instruction about the right method.
Could you help?
Many Thanks!
