Narrative:

After a brief problem en route to hro the right egt gauge functioned properly in descent, landing, start-up and taxi phases, so we determined that the gauge was working properly. However, it failed during the takeoff run. We decided it would be safer to go ahead and fly the airplane around the pattern to a landing than to abort the takeoff at the high speed we were traveling.

Title: SMT SUFFERS FLUCTUATING EGT GAUGE ON TKOF.

Narrative: AFTER A BRIEF PROBLEM ENRTE TO HRO THE R EGT GAUGE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY IN DSCNT, LNDG, START-UP AND TAXI PHASES, SO WE DETERMINED THAT THE GAUGE WAS WORKING PROPERLY. HOWEVER, IT FAILED DURING THE TKOF RUN. WE DECIDED IT WOULD BE SAFER TO GO AHEAD AND FLY THE AIRPLANE AROUND THE PATTERN TO A LNDG THAN TO ABORT THE TKOF AT THE HIGH SPD WE WERE TRAVELING.
