L1011 Cruise Pitch Value - too high?

Featured Replies

Our L1011-500 seems to be cruising at a pitch of roughly 5 degrees. I was under the impression that it was supposed to be around 3.3 degrees. If so, it looks like the model needs a slight adjustment.

I agree it cruises at a very high pitch and it does not seem realistic.

The attached link covers the first flight of the L1011-500 for Pan Am.  Not only is the specially commissioned art nice, but I call your attention to Page 11-13 which is the Aviation Week article on the first flights.  I found the conversation on the 4 degree pitch angle and the F/As being challenged interesting and the captain stating that the -500 has the same pitch 2 degrees as the 747 with proper loading.
