Note: If you are properly trained for pitch management, you will be in no-man’s land for only ten seconds at best. At liftoff, maintain the T-pitch attitude, retract the landing gear when a positive climb is evident, and the airplane will literally jump to V

. When you hear the gear clunk into the wheel wells, select the I-pitch attitude. The airplane will be at or slightly above V

providing you maintained the T-pitch attitude.

“But my instructor taught me to never raise the gear until there wasn’t enough runway to land on.” That’s too bad, you’re compromising your safety.
