Do not allow the aircraft to climb out of ground effect until
safe flying speed of 60 MPH or higher is achieved. Premature
climb out of ground effect could result in a stall.
g. once safe flying speed has been achieved (60 MPH), smoothly adjust the yoke
position to achieve the desired climb attitude;
h. complete the post-takeoff check.
23. Takeoffs in moderate to strong crosswinds will require appropriate modifications to the
selected takeoff technique:
a. crosswind takeoffs are performed with minimum flaps necessary, with due
consideration for field type, field length, and departure end obstacles;
b. maintain into-wind aileron during the takeoff roll, progressively reducing aileron
deflection as the aircraft accelerates;
c. allow the aircraft to accelerate to a slightly higher speed before rotating to ensure
a positive lift-off. With proper aileron position for the crosswind, the downwind
wheel should lift off slightly before the upwind wheel; and
d. once airborne, make a coordinated turn into wind to correct for drift.
24. The Post-Takeoff Check is completed once a safe altitude (minimum 100 ft AGL) has
been achieved, and a positive rate of climb has been confirmed.
UP once above 100 ft AGL
