Catapult T/O Trim Chart

[Lion]

In other words, always go at least 16 degrees trim on the carrier!

[Gixxer]

if im not mistaken you only HAVE to have burners on for above 49,000 the rest mil or burners is sufficient.

[Trim]

I believe that is true as well, however, IRL I don't think I ever saw a jet launch from the cat without being in AB.

Is there a similar chart for runway T/O?

Is there a similar chart for runway T/O?

I believe the 12 degrees the t/o trim button gives you is good for any runway takeoff

[Specter13]

I believe the chart is for ground and ship. Ive tried taking off before with no trim set higher than 12 and blown tires out. Test it though

[Trim]

I have taken off from land every time with trim set to 12. Never had an issue.

[Specter13]

Even with max weight? And are you pulling on the stick?

[Trim]

Not sure on the weight. No I just let it fly itself off the deck.

At full bomb load on runway start I usually have to set it to about 19 degrees trim for it to rotate at 200 kts. Otherwise I have had tires blown out and have to pull the stick manually.
