Question for B747-200 Pilots
 

I wanted to verify a few things about the B747-200.

First, when you deploy the speed brakes in flight, does this creates an initial nose down pitch?

Second, when you put the gear down, does this creates an initial nose down pitch?

Third, when you place flaps down, does this creates an initial nose down pitch and retracting flaps creates an initial nose up pitch?

Finally, setting the thrust levers to the 12 O'Clock position is about 1.17 EPR?

Does this sound correct to you? Any other handling characteristic information you can give me? Please give me your feedback and correct any errors. Look forward to your responses.

1-yes
2-no change
3-nose up
4- various config of dials, tapes, digital [GEs don't use EPR]
