You know when planes try to land and a problem arises, how have they got enough lift to immediately take off again? Isn’t that the purpose of the run up to taking off (normally)?
In: Engineering
After touchdown we are still pretty close to the airspeed needed to takeoff again. All we need to do is push the throttles forward to takeoff power, gain a little of that airspeed back to get us back to rotation speed, and there you go. You should never be losing too much of your airspeed in the roll after touchdown when you’re doing a touch and go. You want to be pretty quick on reconfiguring and pushing those throttles up again before you eat up too much runway and lose too much airspeed.
