What is the target airspeed on takeoff until reaching MFRA?

After liftoff, you want enough energy to stay in control and meet climb objectives if an engine issue occurs. V2 is your takeoff safety speed, the minimum you need to maintain control with one engine inoperative. The profile commonly uses a buffer above that speed to ensure you have a healthy margin for acceleration and configuration changes. Targeting V2+20 knots until you reach the MFRA gives you that margin—more room to handle gusts, maintain a positive climb gradient, and complete flap retraction as you progress. Choosing V2+10 would leave less margin for error, and V2 by itself provides less energy for a safe, efficient transition to climb. V1 is a decision speed from the abort stage before takeoff and isn’t used after liftoff.
