Question 18

PreTakeoff Brief

Answer 18

“I have a planned takeoff roll of ______ feet. If we lose an engine before rotation, I will pull both throttles to idle and apply maximum brakes to bring us to a stop on the runway.

If we lose an engine after rotation with the gear down, I will pull throttles to idle and land straight ahead.

If we lose an engine after rotation with the gear up, I will continue the takeoff, climb to a safe altitude, secure the
engine and return for landing.

If we are unable to climb, I will pull throttles to idle and land straight ahead.”
