At what speed is TOGA thrust supposed to be set during takeoff?

The correct speed at which TOGA (Takeoff Go-Around) thrust should be set during takeoff is typically around 60 KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed). This speed is crucial because it's often just above the stall speed for most commercial aircraft in the configuration used for takeoff—ensuring that there is enough margin for safe flight.

Setting TOGA thrust at this speed allows the pilots to achieve maximum thrust, enabling the aircraft to climb effectively and safely. It ensures that the engines are capable of providing full power in the event of an engine failure or other issues shortly after takeoff, as operational parameters dictate that this is a critical phase of flight. Proper timing of thrust application is essential for maintaining aircraft control and achieving the necessary performance for a safe takeoff.

While other speeds might be mentioned in various contexts, 60 KIAS is widely accepted in most aircraft operations manuals as the point for transitioning to TOGA thrust when taking off.
