Takeoff data and guidance

Open TRS

Select the takeoff dataset. Compare the thrust rating and temperature with the calculation and the actual departure conditions.

Check references

Compare REF ECS and REF A/I with the planned aircraft configuration. Accept the dataset using the documented prompt.

Set takeoff data

Enter or verify the V-speeds, flap setting and other applicable values on the TAKEOFF page. Compare the entries with the manifest and planned runway.

Set trim

Use the EFB manifest TRM for the loaded aircraft. Read the EICAS digital trim position and verify it matches the calculated value and is within the takeoff band.

Set the departure

Select the initial cleared altitude, heading and navigation setup appropriate to the departure. Check the active route and first leg.

Brief the flight

Review the runway, takeoff speeds, initial path, acceleration plan and intended action if the guidance or aircraft behaviour is unexpected.

Select takeoff guidance

Press the TOGA button on a thrust lever before takeoff. Check TO and ROLL on the PFD FMA. This is separate from arming the autothrottle and moving the thrust levers to the TO/GA detent. ^[115]
