Takeoff
Verify the departure runway before entry. Obtain runway-entry and takeoff authority at their respective points. Apply each lighting, transponder and thrust requirement only at its stated condition. Approximately 40% N1 is an engine-speed requirement, not a thrust-lever-position requirement. After engine stabilization, use TO/GA. At VR, rotate toward 15° pitch. Gear retraction requires the positive-climb condition. Above 400 ft, select or verify the roll mode and retract flaps as scheduled. Use the assigned altitude datum and retraction schedule. Do not equate this listed trigger with an unspecified acceleration height or a fixed flap-retraction speed. After actual flap/slat retraction, complete the remaining selections. Maintain the assigned continuous takeoff and climb control. Rejected-takeoff and failure responses require their applicable procedures; they are not established by the availability of TO/GA or autobrake controls.1
Before entering the runway: Departure runway correct — Verify
Condition: Before entering the runway.Before entering the runway, compare actual airport/runway location with the cleared and planned departure runway.
2
Entering the runway: Strobe light — ON
Condition: Entering the runway.At the runway-entry event, select the required strobe configuration and verify it.
3
Entering the runway: Other lights — As needed
Condition: Entering the runway.Apply the approved lighting-panel setup without inventing which lights Set includes.
4
Entering the runway: Transponder — TA/RA
Condition: Entering the runway.Set code and mode from the mission/clearance, then verify both. Code and mode are separate requirements.
5
After clear for takeoff: Fixed landing lights — ON
Condition: After clear for takeoff.When the stated condition is satisfied, select the applicable landing lights ON. Verify the installed lights required by this item.
6
After clear for takeoff: Thrust levers — Approx. 40% N1
Condition: After clear for takeoff.After takeoff clearance, advance the thrust levers to obtain approximately 40% N1. Monitor N1, not thrust-lever percentage. Complete engine stabilization before TO/GA.
7
After engines stabilize: TO/GA switch — Push
Condition: After engines stabilize.When the stated condition is satisfied, push the assigned TO/GA switch once. Verify the resulting thrust and flight-mode indications.
8
At VR: Rotate toward — 15° pitch
Condition: At VR.At the applicable VR, rotate toward 15° pitch using the assigned flight-control function. Verify actual pitch and flight-path response.
9
At positive climb: Landing gear lever — UP
Condition: At positive climb.When the stated condition is satisfied, select the landing gear lever UP. Verify the required lever position and gear indications.
10
Above 400 ft: Roll mode — Select or verify
Condition: Above 400 ft.Resolve the appropriate source-permitted roll mode from the departure/approach plan. Observe active versus armed FMA state before changing it.
11
Above 400 ft: Flaps — Retract as scheduled
Condition: Above 400 ft.When the stated condition is satisfied, select each retraction detent as required by the assigned flap-retraction schedule. Verify the required lever detent and actual flap/slat configuration.
12
After flaps and slats retracted: VNAV mode — SET
Condition: After flaps and slats retracted.After flap and slat retraction is verified, select or establish VNAV. Verify the active flight-mode indication.
13
After flaps and slats retracted: Autopilot — As needed
Condition: After flaps and slats retracted.Resolve whether autopilot use is required; engage only the appropriate approved channel after its prerequisites and the source trigger are satisfied.
14
After flaps and slats retracted: Engine start switches — As needed
Condition: After flaps and slats retracted.Select the engine start-switch positions required for this phase and installed configuration. Verify the selected positions. These switches are separate from the fuel/start levers.
15
After flaps and slats retracted: Autobrake — OFF
Condition: After flaps and slats retracted.Select autobrake OFF. Verify the selector and required indications.
16
After flaps and slats retracted: Landing gear lever — OFF
Condition: After flaps and slats retracted.When the stated condition is satisfied, select the landing gear lever OFF. Verify the required lever position and gear indications.
