ROLLING TAKEOFF
When cleared for takeoff, advance thrust levers enough to begin taxi onto
the runway. Steadily advance the thrust levers after aligning aircraft with
the runway. After observing normal engine response and alignment with
runway centerline, continue to advance thrust levers to TO.
CAUTION Runway remaining at the time takeoff thrust is achieved
must meet the runway performance requirements from
the AFM. There is no runway required performance data
in the AFM for a rolling takeoff.
Crosscheck engine instruments. Verify that N
1
matches the N
1
target
settings within 1% and “TO” is displayed in large font in the EIS. Verify
that airspeed is increasing at expected rate and readings are matched.
Prior to 80 knots, confirm responsiveness of aircraft to crosswind control
inputs, if required, and verify pitch forces are increasing with airspeed.
At V
1
, remove the hand from thrust levers and place it on the yoke. At
V
R
, rotate the aircraft with a steady, smooth motion to achieve the FD
target takeoff pitch attitude in 3-4 seconds.
CAUTION If a crosswind exists, strictly adhere to the recommended
procedure in the AFM.
PERFORMANCE TAKEOFF
See the AFM for static takeoff procedures. Strict adherence to these
procedures is required to achieve the published performance.
CAUTION Performance numbers from Section 5 of the AFM are
unfactored numbers. If factored distances are required
the factor must be added to the takeoff distance obtained
from Section 5.
