Ag Take-off Accidents.

[Lowlevldevl]

As the biggest single contributor to our dismal accident record the last couple of years, what can we do that will eliminate this type of accident?
It'd probably be fair to say that if there'd been no take-off accidents we'd be getting next to no grief from the insurance companies. So it's worth thinking about.

If we always did a take-off performance calculation before we accepted a load.
If we always ran through a decent check-list before we released the brakes on the pad.
If we always checked we were getting power and all the T's & P's were 'in the green' and warning lights out as soon as T/O power is selected.
Would that be enough?

Any thoughts?
