What action is indicated by a Configuration Warning?

• A. Takeoff - DISCONTINUE IMMEDIATELY
• B. Continue takeoff with caution
• C. Engage autopilot
• D. Squawk to standby

Answer: (A)

A Configuration Warning means the aircraft is not in the required takeoff configuration, such as the wrong flap setting, gear, or other systems not aligned for a safe takeoff. When this warning appears during the takeoff roll, the safest action is to discontinue the takeoff immediately so you can verify and correct the configuration on the runway. This prevents lifting off with an improper setup and the associated risks to climb performance and controllability. Engaging autopilot or squawking standby don’t address the misconfiguration, and continuing the takeoff with caution could lead to unsafe conditions if the configuration cannot be corrected in time.
