Engine Failure During Takeoff

Engine failure during takeoff occurs when an aircraft's engine stops producing power while the plane is accelerating on the runway. This can happen due to mechanical issues, fuel problems, or maintenance errors. When this happens, pilots must quickly assess the situation, often aborting the takeoff if there's enough runway, or if already airborne, they focus on safely controlling the aircraft and returning to land. Modern airplanes are equipped with redundant systems, and pilots are trained to handle such emergencies to ensure passenger safety. Prompt decision-making and proper procedures are crucial to minimizing risks associated with engine failure during this critical phase.
