stuarth Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Need help. Tried 2 takeoffs in the Saab this afternoon and both times I was unable to gain any height and both times crashed. I had followed the checklist, so can't determine what the issue is. CTOT was set Props max Throttle max Speed at rotate around 120 knts Flaps 5 Deg. Rotated slowly to 10 Deg, or at least tried to! Any ideas as to what could cause this inability to gain altitude. Ailerons appeared to be working? Could have missed something but didn't think so. Hydraulics? Trim? On the latter not sure how to set takeoff trim in this aircraft?

stuarth Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Posted February 25, 2019 Thanks for your advice, but the condition levers were on the Max line as per your first picture. I need to check the sensitivity curves in XP11 as I did make some changes and it could be that they are set too shallow.
stuarth Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Posted February 25, 2019 Solved: Just found that my Weight and Fuel settings were set massively overweight! No wonder the aircraft couldn't gather speed and lift off. Must have been carrying an elephant!
