Question 3

Take-Off Briefing Coordination

Answer 3

PF: “This will be a 8,300 lb right seat take-off with flaps approach. 2,397 ft-lbs torque, or 850 ITT. Bleed air off. Vr is 75, Vy is 104. Departing RWY 12, for the Jevon 1

PF: “For any malfunctions affecting safety prior to Vr, or if we have not rotated by A2, either pilot will call “REJECT”, and I will abort takeoff
PM: “I will advise ATC/Traffic”
PF: “Malfunctions resulting in a loss of thrust below 1000ft will be considered a failure immediately after take-off. I will pitch for 90 KIAS, and land straight ahead. Feather on my command”
PM: “I will feather prop and secure engine on your command”
PF: “Malfunctions resulting in a loss of thrust above 1000ft will be considered an in flight failure. I will pitch for glide and consider a restart before landing in a suitable field”
PM: “I will identify the malfunction and feather prop on your command”
PF: “All other checklists and emergencies will be dealt with at a safe altitude”

PF: “Return intentions are vectors for the RNAV RWY 12. No Special considerations. Any questions?
