I have noticed in some of the flights I have been trying wth this great A350, the -900 variant only so far, that the pitch angle for a given, sometimes "huge" climb rate is practically "flat".

Looking from an outside view sometimes one has difficulty noticing the aircraft is actually climbing, and even less, climbing sometimes at 3k+fpm !!!

Yesterday I tried a trainning / repositioning flight, with only 18 on bord, no cargo, and 15k tons of fuel.

The aircraft did it's initial climb at a "rocket" climb rate, yet the PFD showed less than 2,5º pitch.

I think this is probably not realistic (?)

Will try to do some tests and post here any additional data / numbers.

Thank you.
