How do you handle an engine failure during takeoff in a 737 or large multi-engine jet? The answer usually comes down to a V-speed we don't use in light aircraft - V1.
V1 - It's Time To Make A Decision
V1 is often called the "takeoff decision speed" or the "critical-engine failure recognition speed." They're ambiguous terms - but you can distill them into a straightforward thought. If you lose an engine after V1, you'll continue the takeoff.
