Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › Takeoff Roll
After confirming the runway and position match expectations, the airplane should be aligned in the center of the runway. When runway length is limited, the brakes should be held while the thrust levers are brought to a power setting specified ... instruments should be checked for proper operation before the brakes are released or the power increased further. This procedure assures symmetrical thrust during the takeoff roll and aids in prevention of overshooting the desired takeoff thrust setting. After brake release…

suspected, the pilot should advance both engine mixtures, propellers, and throttles significantly, to the takeoff settings if necessary, to correctly identify the failed engine. The power on the operative engine can always be reduced later. Engine Inoperative Approach and Landing ... positions as a two-engine approach. The differences are the reduced power available and the fact that the remaining thrust is asymmetrical. A higher-than-normal power setting is necessary on the operative engine. With adequate airspeed and performance…

found in the AFM/POH and checklist for the particular airplane. Most direct the pilot to assume VYSE, set takeoff power, retract the flaps and landing gear, identify, verify, and feather the failed engine. (On some airplanes, the landing gear ... retracted before the flaps.) The “identify” step is for the pilot to initially identify the failed engine. Confirmation on the engine gauges may or may not be possible, depending upon the failure mode. Identification should be primarily through the control…
