The decision to continue must take these factors into account as well as obstacles in the takeoff area, weather and pilots ability. In any case control of the aircraft is the foremost consideration and if any doubt exists the pilot would be best advised to close both throttles and land straight ahead rather than to risk losing control of the aircraft. 4.
