without the use of brakes and only 

minimum thrust, except for airplanes 

requiring asymmetric thrust or braking 

to turn.

Takeoff. 

All commonly used takeoff flap settings 

are to be demonstrated at least once 

in the tests for minimum unstick

engine failure on takeoff (1.b.5.), or 

crosswind takeoff (1.b.6.).
