TOGA thrust maximum time with one engine inoperative?

TOGA thrust maximum time with one engine inoperative?

• A. 3 Minutes
• B. 7 Minutes
• C. 12 Minutes
• D. 10 Minutes

Answer: (D)

You’re being tested on a safety limit for when you have one engine inoperative and you’re using TOGA thrust. TOGA is the highest takeoff/go-around thrust, but with an engine out the airplane is operating under asymmetric power and the remaining engine is under heavier load. To protect that engine and the aircraft systems from overheating or damage, there’s a defined maximum time you can hold TOGA on the live engine. That limit is 10 minutes. Beyond that window, you’re expected to reduce thrust away from TOGA (follow the specific procedure for the airplane) to avoid overstressing the engine. So the correct choice reflects this standard 10-minute cap.
