Re: Just After Takeoff

[QUOTE][In other words when aircraft takes off are the engines at the highest possible power?/QUOTE] Only if they have to be; say a shortish runway and a heavyweight aircraft. Otherwise we use any excess runway available to reduce the power (to save engine wear) and still reach the required speed to take off with the required safety margins.
