concorde take off
Guest
im using fspassengers at ksfo airport. I always seem to make the tail hit the ground when flying concorde! flaps are set at 5 degrees and at 140 knots i pull back gently until 10 degrees and it does not climb unless the tail hits the ground! how do you take off properly using concorde?

You could be rotating at too slow a speed, or your flaps may be set too low, try pressing F7 twice. 😉
You might be too heavy. Lose some fuel, and wait until 150KIAS with 5 degrees flaps and then pull back to 10 degrees. You should fly off the runway at that speed. Climb at V2 + 10kts 😉
Flaps: Concorde does not have flaps.
Takeoff
Takeoff is always performed with full power and afterburners (reheats) on.
Advance the throttle levers to full power (use the joystick throttle, press F4 or drag the thrust levers).
Turn the afterburners ON (press SHIFT+F4).On takeoff, the pilot typically rotates to around 13 degrees nose up. You'll usually be at 10 degrees nose up just as the wheels leave the runway.·
V1, approximately 165 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS), is decision speed. Above this speed it may not be possible to stop the aircraft on the runway in case of a rejected takeoff (RTO). ·
At Vr, approximately 190 KIAS, smoothly pull the stick (or yoke) back to raise the nose to 10 degrees above the horizon. Hold this pitch attitude.At V2, approximately 210 KIAS, the aircraft has reached its takeoff safety speed. This is the minimum safe flying speed should an engine fail. Hold this speed until you get a positive rate of climb. Once you have a positive rate of climb (both vertical speed and altitude are increasing), retract the landing gear (press G or drag the landing gear lever). 🙂
I just read a manual that said "extend flaps to 5 degrees" and "VR is roughly 150kts" 😂
