"cjcampbell" Seems to me, if you fly more than one type or don't fly much,
announcing the best single engine climb speed and bugging it during the
pre-takeoff briefing is a good idea.

No this was done "kinda" safely.

Chris,

I'm sure you know this and probably realized it the second you clicked on
send, but.........

Takeoff numbers are calculated for every takeoff, without exception. Weight,
altitude, temperature, wind, slope, runway condition are factored and V
speeds are posted. Different pilots post different speeds. Some airplane can
post only one speed....some up to 4 that I've seen. But V2 is always posted
on the pilot flying side.

All transport aircraft have charts and most have been tabulated. Some have
computer programs and some, I hear, are somehow automatically "bugged."

Best,
Karl
