Just wondering what the correct procedure is when you rotate at V1....
Ok, I have heard that when you rotate at V1 your right hand should come off the power levers and onto the yoke which means "were committed now".
I have also heard that when you rotate at V1 your right hand should NEVER come off the power levers except to briefly put the gear and flaps up at least until 1,000 AGL.
The reason I have been told to keep your hands ON the power levers is because of possible power lever friction lock problems. For example, A power lever could slip back making you think you had an engine failure. I have heard of power levers slipping back even with the friction lock all the way locked. Is this true?
Is it just a personal preference to keep your hands on or off the power levers at V1?
I'd appreciate any opinions!
Thank's
