Final answer:

In aviation, during takeoff, the target and actual N1 values should match closely to ensure proper thrust is provided for takeoff.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question you've asked pertains to the relationship between target and actual N1 values in an aircraft during takeoff. N1 is a term used in aviation to refer to the rotational speed of the fan or low-pressure compressor in a jet engine, expressed as a percentage of a predetermined reference speed.

When setting the thrust levers for takeoff (T/O) power, target and actual N1 values should ideally match closely. This doesn't necessarily mean they will match exactly due to tolerances and system accuracy, but they should be within a tight margin to ensure that the aircraft has the appropriate amount of thrust for takeoff.
