- Maintain runway centerline
- As airspeed comes alive, verbalize “Airspeed Alive”
- Glance at the engine instruments to
Make sure there is nothing abnormal, verbalize “Engine Instruments Green” - As you reach a comfortable rotation speed of 50-60 KTS, rotate smoothly to lighten the nose, once airborne continue to climb pitch
- At climb pitch, aircraft should accelerate to about 65 KTS
- Upon reaching a safe altitude (no lower than 300’ AGL) perform the “After Takeoff” flow, (turn the fuel pump off, and bring the flaps to cruise)
- Aircraft should accelerate to abt 75 KTS
- Perform the “After Takeoff” Checklist
- Trim aircraft for climb
