Title: Attitude in level flight
Post by tomas1976 on Jan 7th, 2011 at 9:11pm
Hi.
Im quite new att flightsim so Im not sure if this is right or not.
When Im in level flight with the 727-100 i hav about 6-8 degres nose up attitude.
Is this supposed to be or am I doing something wrong.

Glad for help.

Your pitch attitude depends on your weight, speed and flap deployment.  The slower you go, and the heavier the airplane, the more nose up you will be in level flight until you start setting your flaps out.  There are minumum speeds you should not go below for each flap setting that will result in reasonable attitudes -- I am not sure if these are in the Captain Sim manuals or not.

By way of some further information, the most pitch you would see in level flight would be about 7-8 degrees in level flight with flaps five at the minimum maneuver speed for your weight or 6-7 degrees with flaps 15 at the minimum maneuver speed with that configuration.

Not counting spped or flaps...say at cruise speed, theres a huge difference in attitude if you have fuel full tanks 100%, or just 50%.
Try it, go to "Fuel and Payload" and change the three tanks from 100 to 50. YouŽll see the nose going down and the plane levelled.
