What activates the takeoff warning system?

  1. A thrust lever

  2. The start of the engine

  3. The closure of the cockpit door

  4. Engaging the autopilot

The correct answer is: A thrust lever

The takeoff warning system is designed to alert pilots if any conditions exist that may prevent a safe takeoff. This includes situations such as not having flaps in the correct position or the parking brake being engaged. Of the choices provided, only option A, the thrust lever, is related to the process of taking off. The start of the engine (B) and engaging the autopilot (D) are not directly involved in the takeoff procedure. The closure of the cockpit door (C) is also not directly related to takeoff, although it may be important for overall safety during the flight. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate answer as it directly relates to the takeoff procedure.
