Q

Flex thrust take off shall not be used when the any of the following conditions are present (9 items) :

A
  1. Icing conditions exist
  2. Contaminated runway
  3. Wind shear or inversion
  4. Lift dumpers inop
  5. Anti skid inop (any)
  6. Wing anti ice on
  7. Tail anti ice on
  8. No means established to periodically verify rated thrust
  9. Items affecting performance cause significant increase in crew workload.
