Cleared for take off?
Greetings fellow aviators! :-)
I have a Q! A rather stupid and easy one perhaps, but I have been thinking about it lately.
At what point is the aircraft cleared for take off, and it is okey to press TO/GA? Is it:
1: When ATC starts to say you are cleared for take off
2: At the point where ATC says the words "cleared for take off"
3: At the point when PM reads back the clearance
In order to achieve MROT, when are you guys setting take off thrust?
