Monitor your speed

Enroute Climb

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

This comprehensive flight description details the operation of a Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registration number N60US. The aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, taking approximately 16 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 07.

During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 115 knots within 10% of the runway's length, utilizing a distance of 313 meters. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a wind blowing at 26 knots from an 80-degree direction, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 26-knot headwind.
