The present invention relates to an aircraft instrument for reducing the risk of tail strike during aircraft take-off. The instrument receives an input from a pitch angle sensor and derives a signal indicative of rate of change of pitch angle. The instrument includes a comparator receiving the rate of change of pitch angle signal and signals from reference sources indicative of maximum and minimum rates of change of pitch angle. The instrument display is turned on when the aircraft nose gear lifts offthe runway and displays a stationary symbol as long as rate of change of pitch angle is within safe limits. When rate of change of pitch angle falls outside these limits, the display changes so that the symbol moves to warn the pilot. After the aircraft has reached a certain height, the instrument display is turned off.
