Question for E190 crews

Rode on a B6 E190 yesterday for the first time in daylight. The deck angle on climbout shocked me - it was like being on a mini 75-. I hope I didn't startle the other passengers with my child-like giggling...

What do you guys pitch to when you rotate?

Nice, nice plane. Now to just get the 190 payscale to where it should be...
 
75 only climbs out at 15 degrees initially. The MD-88/90 is 20 degrees initially.
 
Yeah I hope the E190 pay, especially for CA's, is at the top of the list for compensation discussions next year. Any CA on a plane that size should be at least $100/hr - especially since I want to bid over there in the spring.

Maybe we'll start raising our rates like the rest of the insudtry just did (except for us and Alaska) so we can all start seeing improvements.
 
The CRJ was 12.5 degrees for a flex takeoff, or 15 degrees for a full power takeoff.

You would then adjust your pitch to maintain V2+10-15 and that would take anywhere from lowering the nose slightly to 12 or 11 degrees on a hot day with a flex takeoff or up to 20 degrees with a flaps 8 takeoff on a cool day with a light plane.
 
The 75 feels like it'd do alright at 25 degrees, doesn't it? :)
 
Seriously! We had a light one going from ATL-CLT yesterday... It felt like we could have put that thing into orbit.
 
To this day, I have never seen climb attitude and power like a 757. I was blown away at the power that beast has. What also was quite interesting was the climp performance on the A320(Thank you JB guys/gals for the rides, see you in November again). Doesn't climb as well as I thought.

15!?! No wonder the captains look at me funny. I usually rotate to 7-8 then SMOOTHLY pitch to 20 to keep V2+15.
Click to expand...

Is it up to 20? I don't even remember as I haven't touched a 75 since IOE months ago.
 
I've never hit 20 on the 757, haha.

I go to 7.5 and listen for the "click" and then bring it up to 15.. sometimes I'll get to 17. I use the same technique on both the 757 and 767... I just takes less pack pressure on the 767.




I flew my first 767 with the Pratt 4060's last week from ATL-MCO-ATL.
After we took off from MCO, we were at FL390 before we even passed JAX. VROOOOMMM!!!!!
 
The ER's are killer climbers for transport category aircraft. As long as there's not a barbie jet in front of us, it's usually about 18 minutes from JFK to initial TOC in the mid 30's. Even with a heavy aircraft and step climbs! ;)

You DO realize that you have far more landings than I, right? :)
 
Who looks at pitch attitude. I just keep pulling back to keep the flaps from overspeeding. I guess I'm more concentrating on the airspeed than the pitch.

But, yeah, sometimes I'm sure it gets up there purdy high.
 
Yeah, and another thing. Don't try to "airbrake" a 757 on rollout. The nose will come crashing down when the elevator runs out and the Capt will be going for the yoke worried about a tail strike.
 
I aerobraked the 707 sim during my American interview back in the late 90's. Needless to say I was the only one from the group not called back! ;)
 
My sidestory 767 flight on american:

Light load, 767-300ER LAX-LAS

Talked with the capt. post flight 25 degree nose up he said. Oh yeah, it felt like it too. Got to 31,000 maybe about 4-5 miles after coming back over land (after being over coast 24/25 departure).
