Note :Engine light-off occurs within 10 seconds after throttle advance and is

indicated by an airframe vibration and an increase in RPM followed by an

increase of FTIT. Without external power connected, only the RPM and FTITindicators function until the standby generator is online.

Note:If the FLCS BIT reports a failure through the FLCS warning light and the FAILlight on the FLCP, the failure cannot be reset. The BIT must be reinitiated. Inthis case, the RUN light and the FAIL light are simultaneously illuminated forthe first steps of the BIT, after which the FAIL light goes OFF unless BITdetects a subsequent failure.

Normal engine operation during MIL takeoff is indicated by an exhaustnozzle position of 15% or less after 5 seconds at MIL.

Apply Power smoothly, note computed speeds for 8-12 degrees pitchrotation as briefed.

Do not exceed 14 degrees pitch in rotation.

Insure LG is up and locked before exceeding 300 knots.

Since TEF and LG retract at the same time, do not rush LG retraction

after takeoff, a significant loss of lift may occur.
