#### Tail Strike Avoidance (TSA)

E190/E195 (including freighter). When enabled, TSA limits nose-up elevator near the ground:

* **Takeoff** — radio altitude below about 28 ft AGL and thrust above \~70 %.
* **Landing** — radio altitude below about 78 ft AGL and landing flaps.
* Pitch more nose-up than about −5° at or below 12 ft RA commands a nose-down elevator bias (−0.2, or −0.3 beyond about −9°).

Leave **off** unless you want that protection.
