Section 3 Standard Operating Procedures
Take-Off
Reference the Takeoff checklist prior to departure. Complete a takeoff
briefing to review the critical items prior to takeoff. A takeoff briefing
allows the pilot to review the takeoff procedure and determine the
actions necessary in the event of abnormal/emergency conditions
during the takeoff roll and initial climb. At a minimum, a takeoff briefing
should include the following items:
• Type of procedure used (normal, short, or soft),
• Takeoff distance required / runway distance available,
•V
R
and initial climb speed,
• Abnormality / engine failure before V
R
,
• Abnormality / engine failure after V
R
.
Sample Takeoff Briefing
This will be a __________ (normal, short, soft) takeoff from RWY
_________ with a takeoff distance of _______ feet and ________ feet
of runway available. Rotation speed is ______ KIAS. Initial heading
after takeoff is _______ degrees to an altitude of _______ feet. Abort
the takeoff for any engine failures/abnormalities prior to rotation. If the
engine fails after rotation I will ______________.
Procedures (Flow Pattern)
Normal Takeoff
Use of the Flight Director in Takeoff (TO) mode is recommended.
Press the Go Around button on the throttle to engage the Flight
Directed in TO mode. The recommended flap setting for a normal
takeoff is 50%. Align the aircraft on the runway centerline and
smoothly apply full power. It should take approximately 4 - 5 seconds
to apply full power. Slight brake pressure may be required for
directional control early in the takeoff roll for some crosswind
situations. Maintain directional control with rudder during the takeoff
roll after sufficient rudder control is available. Check engine and
airspeed indications early in the takeoff roll to ensure proper function.
Discontinue the takeoff by reducing the power to idle and brakes as
necessary for any abnormal engine or airspeed indications, sluggish
acceleration, or rough engine. At V
R
smoothly apply back pressure to
