I was told 7.5 by Flight Safety. Not sure why I was told that since I fly a -400 but I was told nonetheless.

6 degrees get the 802 panel 6 degrees pitch
9 degrees you get the touched runway and master warning. You've sheered the sensor off the tail.

Ya the 802 caution msg comes on at 6 degrees. i asked the same question to some of senior pilots in my company. non of them agree with one number, so i thought of bringing it here hoping to get a better answer. So far i have been flying a Q200, which can go above 9 degrees nose up attitude and there is no "Touched Runway" warning installed in this aircraft.

I am about to start flying a Q300 and curious to know this before i get the unemployment (Touched Runway) warning light.

Thnx guys.
