Answer:
Perform your takeoff checklist and verify all settings. Set the brakes. Run the engine up to between 50% and 100% of maximum power. If no problems, release the brakes and smoothly advance the throttle to full takeoff power. As you pass V1 (55 knots indicated airspeed), gently pull back on the yoke. At VR (65 knots indicated airspeed), rotate to become airborne at 10 to 15 degrees climb. Climb at 75 knots, climb rate 700 ft/min and about 2300 RPM. At 500 feet, retract flaps if set, maintain cruising speed of 120 knots IAS.
