TOGA button sets the command bar to what degree of pitch up?

• A. 0 degrees
• B. 5 degrees
• C. 10 degrees
• D. 15 degrees

Answer: (C)

TOGA engages maximum thrust and directs the flight director to a takeoff/go-around climb attitude. The command bar is set to about 10 degrees nose-up to provide a safe, efficient initial climb: enough nose-up to lift off and begin climbing, while staying within a reasonable pitch limit to avoid an overly steep attitude as the airplane accelerates. The exact pitch can vary with weight, flaps, runway conditions, and winds, but 10 degrees is the standard target used in this context.
