2d-12 Takeoff
Loss of Thrust At or Above V1
2d.8 Loss of Thrust At or Above V1
2d.8.1 General. In the event of a single engine malfunction accompanied by a loss of thrust at or above V1, follow the “Loss of Thrust At or Above V1” guidance.
If the engine is still producing normal thrust (such as an engine fire or compressor/stall), clean up using the normal takeoff profile except comply with runway specific “Engine Failure - Takeoff” procedure (if published); otherwise, fly runway heading.
Considerations. The PF must fly the aircraft and not be distracted trying to analyze the problem while the aircraft is in a critical phase of flight.
Normally, the safest course of action is to accomplish the applicable ECAM/ QRH procedure(s) after the flaps are up and the desired climb speed has been attained. However, under compelling circumstances such as severe vibration, adverse flight characteristics, etc., it may be necessary to accomplish the ECAM/QRH procedure(s) as early as 400 ft. AFE.
Takeoff Performance. Takeoff performance using an assumed temperature is predicated on an engine failure, thus advancing thrust may not be necessary to maintain safe flight. However, additional thrust is available and must be used if necessary to sustain safe flight.
