The conversation between human and AI assistant.
On take off … The first officer says 'positive rate' and then waits for the captains command to pull up the landing gear. Why does he ask?
I have a question about airplanes. Why does the first officer say "positive rate" on take off?
The first officer says "positive rate" on take off to indicate that the airplane is ascending and has achieved a positive climb rate. This is generally when the airplane has lifted off the runway and climbed to a safe height above the ground.
