Hey, I remain impressed by the fact that the plane flew well enough to land it without any further problems and amazed that with all of the technology available today, that there is not something that essentially prevents the pilot from doing that. Randy On 16/07/2014 4:47 PM, Rich Thomas via

On a rough runway; something like one of the old Hartsfield runways in Atlanta? Seems like there should be a warning sensor in the tail that provided time to slow the rotation. Gerry On 7/15/2014 6:35 AM, Jon Agne via Mercedes wrote: Holy Batman! I’ve been flying 757-767’s for 8 years now,

Rotating for takeoff refers to the airplane rotating at the center of lift, which at takeoff will be the approximate centerline of the wings, ie.. nose up, tail down, to increase the angle of attack of the wings, generate greater lift, and defeat gravity temporarily, also known as flight. Large,

Actually, initially, it is rotating about the wheel or bogey axles, more or less, to get the nose up to generate more angle of attack and more lift. This guy rotated it a bit much before the wheels got off the ground, or maybe shortly after. The old 727s would slowly do that on the ground if

The 727 was sensitive to CG on the ground, but it was never fueling that caused any of that. It was mostly loading passengers with nothing in the cargo bins. That was why Delta had a policy of leaving the aft stairs down until loading was almost complete. As far as 757-767’s go, it about
