A couple of days ago I lost #1 engine (bird strike) on climb out from KSFO. When things settled down and I was being vectored to 19L I
went to spot view and WOW it is a wonder I hadn't stalled, the nose was really up. I hit the 7 key several times and she pretty much
returned to level.
As best as I can recall this is about the configuration when I noticed my out of trim CRJ.
3500 AGL
140 IKAS
8% flap
The gear was up at this point. I didn't want anymore flaps or gear until I was sure I had the runway made.
Best Regards
