I would assume as a pilot, you have the basic knowledge of the first segment of taking off. Once you have gotten beyond the basic plane take off duties, you are ready to enter the next segment.
Segment Two Of Taking Off: You are now in lift off where you are now officially off the ground. There are things you now have to turn your attention to. Observe what the nose position of the plane is. You need to have a consistent climbing rate at this point and you can achieve through the amount of backpressure you apply.
You are going to have to multi task at this stage as you need to monitor your rate of speed and at the same time be fully aware of your external surroundings. Don't neglect to keep full control of the ailerons because if you don't then you won?t have level air winds. It is imperative that you keep your hand on the throttle during this period.
As we mentioned earlier you must be acutely aware of the weather. Take special note of the win velocity. If the winds are gusty, you are most certainly going to have to utilize your entire available runway. By doing so you will be able to achieve a faster than normal airspeed that you would acquire in non-windy conditions. Be aware also that if you experiencing gusty winds not only will you possible be subjects to increases in air speed but the very opposite could occur. If the speed rapidly decreases you could find yourself at a low attitude and a stalled plane. Not exactly, the type of situation any Pilot wants to be in.
Segment Three of Taking Off: You are on the climb but only after your plane has cleared or lifted off the runway. Now you need to divert your attention to the VY. The VY refers to the best altitude that allows you to get to the best air speed rate by acceleration. It is during this time that you will be able to gain the most altitude to reach your airspeed. You won't miss this because you will notice a big change in how fast you are traveling as soon as you clear the runway. You goal is to reach a minimum of 500 feet about the area by keeping your throttle position at its highest cotangential.
You have a purpose in mind and that is to get enough altitude under you in case you run into problems with your engine or equipment. The reason for this is you need as much air space to work in if an event were to occur. You need every favorable possibility to be able to return to the airport as possible, so the more air space available to you the easier it is.
As a licensed pilot you must be aware that you do not make throttle adjustments during takes offs and landings. The throttle will be fully open and you need to make adjustments during your airspeed. Be alert and observe what is taking place around you. You are not likely to be the only plane in the sky so you need to watch the air traffic. Keep an eye on your controls as well. You must maintain a straight line as you leave the runway. As we said when it comes to flying you must be able to multi task. - 33387
