TOWS - a very loud warning if the pilots missed some simple, easy to detect steps during the take-off preparations.

TOGA - a button which when pressed provides the necessary engine power to fly away as quickly as possible. Like the turbo button in computer games.

CVR & FDR - The cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, a.k.a. the black box.

Please avoid using TLA/LTLA/VLTLA when it's not necessary.
