There are two new system developments discussed in this episode, TOS (Take off surveillance) which comprises of TOS1 and TOS2, and, TOM (Take off monitoring) which currently isn't available on the A320 but is being evaluated for possible installation. TOS1 checks flaps and trim settings and does a check of the performance parameters entered in the FMS (aircraft weight and takeoff speeds).
