Afterburner reheat is usually turned off at 600 km/h, unless you need to scramble to intercept. Second reheat (using {{Key press|CTRL|f}}) is allowed on takeoff for short runways or when you need to get in the air fast, but it isn’t a normal practice. | Afterburner reheat is usually turned off at 600 km/h, unless you need to scramble to intercept.
