There must be a second condition: full thrust obtained by the engines, not just TOGA selected but with engines not spooled up!

But... a pilot should know this instinctively.
Forgive my probably ignorant comment. Does instrument lag enter the equation or are the aircrew relying on external observations, looking out of the window?
