What is the term for the speed of the airplane that exists at the end of the takeoff path in the en route configuration with one engine inoperative?

• A. Final Takeoff Speed
• B. Takeoff Speed
• C. V1
• D. Cruise Speed

Answer: (A)

In this scenario, the speed at which the airplane is flying when you have completed the takeoff path and have transitioned to the en route (clean) configuration with one engine inoperative is the final takeoff speed. This term identifies the milestone at the end of the takeoff phase, just as you’re ready to continue the flight in a more streamlined configuration after guaranteeing you can maintain control with an engine inoperative. Takeoff speed refers to the speed needed for a normal takeoff with all engines operating. V1 is the decision speed for aborting or continuing the takeoff. Cruise speed is what you use during the cruising phase of flight. So the final takeoff speed specifically denotes that end-of-takeoff, en-route configuration speed with one engine inoperative.
