TAKE OFF
Rolling and static take offs are possible and permitted. Do not apply brakes over 50% N1 on start.
THRUST LEVERS ............................................................................................. FLX or TO/GA PF
• PF advanced throttles from idle to 50% N1.
• PF releases brakes (in case of static take off).
• PF advances throttle to take off power.
• Stick half forward till 80 knots to prevent nose up effect
(full forward stick in case of +10 crosswind of aft located CG).
• PF announces “Take-off thrust time”.
• C/M 1 keeps hand on throttle until V1 is reached.
• C/M2 starts chrono timing.
PFD/ND ......................................................................................................... SCAN PF/PM
• PF and PM will check FMA on PFD and abnormal indication.
TAKE OFF N1 ................................................................................................. CHECK PM
• Check that N1 is reached before 80 knots and announce “Take off thrust set”.
DIRECTIONAL DISPLAY .................................................................................. BY RUDDER PF
• Do not use steering hand wheel above 30 knots.
• At 130 knots connection between nosewheel steering and
rudders is removed, beware of this in case of strong crosswinds.
PFD and ENG indications ............................................................................... SCAN PM
• Scan airspeed and engine parameters during whole procedure.
V SPEEDS ....................................................................................................... ANNOUNCE PF/PM
• PM will announce 100 knots, V1 and VR
• PF will cross check and reply ‘checked” at 100 knots
ROTATION ..................................................................................................... PERFORM PF
• At VR rotate smoothly to a pitch attitude of 15° with centralized stick,
after takeoff follow SRS pitch command bar.
GEAR ............................................................................................................. RETRACT PF/PM
• PM ensures that the aircraft is climbing and calls “Positive climb”.
• PF cross checks and calls “Gear up”.
• PM confirms with a ‘Gear up” call and moves the gear lever to the UP position.
• PM calls “Gear up, lights out” when gear is stowed.
TAXIWAY and TURNOFF LIGHTS .................................................................... OFF PF/PM
A/P ................................................................................................................ AS RQRD PF
