A2 Take-off aeroplane

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to complete pre-take-off checks, take-off aeroplane into wind and in cross-wind conditions and perform after take-off checks in an aeroplane.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               A2.1 – Carry out pre-take-off procedures
            1.        correctly identify critical airspeeds, configurations, and emergency and abnormal procedures for normal and cross-wind take-offs;
            2.        work out a plan of action, in advance, to ensure the safest outcome in the event of abnormal operations;
            3.         verify and correctly apply correction for the existing wind component to the take-off performance;
            4.        perform all pre-take-off and line-up checks required by the aircraft checklist;
            5.        ensure approach path is clear of conflicting traffic and other hazards before lining up for take-off;
            6.          align the aeroplane on the runway centreline.
     2.               A2.2 – Take off aeroplane
            1.        apply the controls correctly to maintain longitudinal alignment on the centreline of the runway, if appropriate, prior to initiating and during the take-off;
            2.        adjust the power controls taking into account the existing conditions;
            3.         monitor power controls, settings, and instruments during take-off to ensure all predetermined parameters are achieved and maintained;
            4.        adjust the controls to attain the desired pitch attitude at the predetermined airspeed to attain the desired performance;
            5.        perform the take-off applying the required pitch, roll and yaw inputs as appropriate in a smooth, coordinated manner;
            6.          trim the aeroplane accurately;
            7.        perform gear and flap retractions, power adjustments (as applicable) and other required pilot-related activities;
            8.        maintain flight path along the runway extended centreline;
            9.          apply the applicable noise abatement and wake turbulence avoidance procedures;
           10.          recognise take-off abnormalities and take appropriate action to reject take-off (can be simulated).
