Takeoff/Go-around switches — (TO/GA) are switches activated on the autothrottle of an autopilot of a modern aircraft. It has two modes, takeoff (TO) and go around (GA).The switch is the same for both takeoff and go around modes, the autopilot throttle programming knows what… … Wikipedia
takeoff distance required — i. The horizontal distance required to accelerate from a standing start with all engines operating to achieve a safety speed at a height of 50 ft above the takeoff surface, multiplied by 1.15 for airplanes with a maximum takeoff weight of 4500 lb … Aviation dictionary
takeoff safety speed — (V 2 ) A referenced air speed obtained after takeoff at which the required one engine inoperative climb performance can be achieved. This speed is used in the determination of takeoff performance. It is a legal requirement for some commercial and … Aviation dictionary
takeoff power — The amount of power that an engine is allowed to produce for a limited period of time for takeoff. The use of takeoff power is usually limited to 5 min for reciprocating engines and up to 21/2 min for gas turbine engines. This may not always be… … Aviation dictionary
takeoff warning system — A warning system in which an aural warning is given if the flaps, stabilizer, or speed brakes are in an unsafe position when the throttles are advanced to the takeoff power position. Takeoff warning indication system in a transport aircraft … Aviation dictionary
Maximum Takeoff Weight — The Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) or Maximum Takeoff Mass of an aircraft is the maximum weight at which the pilot of the aircraft is allowed to attempt to take off, due to structural or other limits. The analogous term for rockets is Gross Lift… … Wikipedia
Rejected takeoff — A rejected takeoff or RTO (more commonly known outside aviation jargon as an aborted takeoff) is the situation in which it is decided to abort the takeoff of an airplane. There can be many reasons for deciding to perform a rejected takeoff, but… … Wikipedia
Balanced field takeoff — In aviation, the balanced field takeoff is the theoretical principle whereby the critical engine failure recognition speed, or V1, is used as a decision speed at which the pilot elects whether to continue the takeoff. The concept at play is that … Wikipedia
safety speed — The speed above which an aircraft can fly safely with a given load and configuration. The most important safety speed is the takeoff safety speed (V2 ) the speed at which an aircraft after takeoff can safely climb away in the event one engine… … Aviation dictionary
