As far as i know no plane is really capable of doing so, or at least, it's not used..

You can have the throttle done for you with TO/GA. That's it. Do you constantly tailstrike or something?

That would be really boring and useless. If someone used auto-takeoff they might as well not even bother flying at all.

Exactly. Pilots should be pilots, not autopilot operators.

So you never use autopilot?

Just use time acceleration. I flew from Washington to L.A. today, a five hour or so flight, and, via 16x time acceleration, it was just over an

good pilot skills Re: Auto takeoff? - xvxmatthewxvx - 25-12-2005
I don't think there is such a thing, and like someone said if there is, it isn't used.
Takeoff is about the easiest thing to do manually in a flight. I don't know why it would be needed.
I never heard of anyone saying "Jeez, that was a bad takeoff".

I constantly use autopilot, but I don't go pushback to shutdown on the autopilot. I don't use autobrakes, I do my own approches, and I'm trying to
get off autothrottle.
And to the above,

I never thought it possible, What did you do? Roll off the runway?

I still don't know, i think the moment i switched on the ap after take off, i might have been way off the "ideal track" or so, the ap first went crazy
trying to get everything back to normal again, then the paxs went crazy when i tried to correct the ap again
