CPL Aerodynamics · Mock exam

The 'over-rotation' hazard during take-off (nose raised too high) can result in:

• A.a reduction in take-off ground roll because the higher nose attitude generates more lift earlier
• B.improved obstacle clearance because the steep pitch attitude climbs faster over the obstacle
• C.earlier undercarriage retraction because the nose-high attitude allows cleaner gear-up geometry
• D.tail strike, excessive induced drag, reduced climb gradient, or a stall if critical AoA is exceeded near the ground
