Catapult Launch without an Airspeed Sensor
==========================================
Taking off without an airspeed sensor using a catapult may cause less than maximum throttle to be used due to high initial climb rates. For heavy vehicles, this may result in a stall due to the long time constants used in TECS to adjust throttle after the initial launch. The parameter :ref:`TKOFF_THR_MAX_T<TKOFF_THR_MAX_T>` can be used to force maximum throttle for a time, irrespective of climb rates from an initial catapult launch to allow the vehicle to obtain sufficient speed.
