It's kind of poorly worded. Hitting V1 means you are committed to taking off, single engine failure or not - but you HAVE to reach V2 to safely climb on one engine.
This should happen within moments of hitting Vr, but being single-engine after V1 means you went from hitting Vr halfway down the runway to potentially doing so at the ass-end of your minimum runway length. This means you have basically no room for any pilot error or other failures, and why engine failure on take-off is routinely rehearsed.
- xvf22 6y agoNot sure where the original disagreement came from. I never said an aircraft should be able to take off at V1. Perhaps you took the "fly" literally which is fine but that was certainly not the intention.
