There were no known defects with the aircraft and the weight and balance were within normal operating limits. The aircraft lifted off at 08:08:39 UTC. This initiates a “re-light and thrust recovery sequence”, that is, the engines should automatically restart and begin producing thrust again.

For example, the rotation speed (VR) is the speed at which the pilot initiates a gentle rotation of the aircraft to lift off the ground during takeoff. VLO Maximum landing gear operating speed. VLOF Lift-off speed. VMO Maximum operating limit speed. VR) remains the same. VLE Maximum landing gear extended speed.

And the finest example of a Cirrus SR22 is not going to want to lift a full load out of a backcountry strip on a warm afternoon with a density altitude reading five digits. Can you fly a zero-thrust, single-engine approach to minimums today? That optimistic outlook doesn’t apply to pilots with rusty skills. Adobe Stock/Robert L.
