with
the
landing gear still down, the take-off should
still
be
discontinued
if touch-down
and
roll-out
on the
remaining
runway
is still possible.
If
you
do
find
yourself
in a position of not being
able to climb, it is
much
better to pull the
power
on
the
good
engine
and
land straight ahead than try to
force a chmb and lose control.

charts that are
used
in calculating
the runway length
required
to
stop if the engine fails before reaching lift-off speed
and
also
has
charts
showing

performance
after
lift-off.
Study
your
charts
carefully.

you
take the actual runway,
whether
you
can maintain control

is still down. It may be
necessary to off-load some
weight,
or
wait
for more
favorable temperature
or
wind conditions.
