Inflight Event / Encounter Wake Vortex Encounter
Flight Crew Regained Aircraft Control; Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Environment - Non Weather Related; Procedure
On a calm clear day taking off behind an A319 with winglets we were cleared for takeoff just as they rotated. We were fairly heavy with tanker fuel so we rotated at about the same point down the runway. Between 500-800 ft. AGL we began to quickly bank to the right and ended up at approximately 50 degrees of bank. I immediately unloaded the aircraft with nose down force while continuously increasing left aileron. I pushed the thrust levers into APR thrust and turned on the Continuous Ignition as well during this maneuver. We recovered about 5-8 seconds after initial indication; notified ATC; and continued on without incident. I also checked with our flight attendants to verify that no one was injured and she said that no one seemed to notice. No aircraft damage was found.Calm air; heavy aircraft; and close separation.
Reporter stated he was surprised at the intensity of the wake since the preceding aircraft was not a heavy.
CRJ-900 Captain reported encountering wake turbulence departing CLT in trail of an A319 that resulted in an uncommanded 50 degree bank.
