747, A340, etc)= 5 NM. Behind an A380 = 7NM.

Question 47

How do you perform an engine power check on take-off? Is this mandatory?

Answer 47

Apply brakes and advance the thrust levers. For takeoff in icing conditions, takeoff power must be set to approximately 54%N1 and held at that thrust level for 30 seconds or until fan vibration level returns to normal, just before or in conjunction with the final takeoff power setting.
In icing conditions, yes.
