Great that we have a few Twin Com drivers here because I was wanting to ask another question...

I've just finished the MEP on the Twin Com but I'm slightly in two minds about the take off technique. According to the AFM:

Take-off technique

With flaps 15 and both engines at maximum take-off power, the aeroplane should be held on or near the ground until the take-off safety speed of 97mph is attained.

I've been told by my instructor not to use take off flap (this is for a hard runway) and to rotate at 85mph...which as you can see differs slightly from the AFM.

What do others do?
