3.2.4.7. TAKE-OFF FLAP SETTING
The lowest flap setting for a given departure will produce the least drag and so give the lowest fuel burn, lowest noise and best flight profile. However other priorities such as maximizing take-off weight, maximizing flex temperature, maximizing passenger comfort, minimizing take-off speeds, etc… will often require
higher flap settings. The

3.2.4.8. DEPARTURE DIRECTION
Ideally departure should be in direction of the flight. Most airports have Standard Instrument Departure (SID) routes that ensure terrain clearance or noise abatement requirements are met. The principle departure route will usually be the least demanding in terms of aircraft performance. Certain combinations of destination/wind direction/departure direction can lead to a departure route that adds several miles to the flight distance. At many airports alternate departure routes are available, when conditions allow, but their use may require a greater climb performance. In such circumstances the use of alternate departure routes should be assessed.

3.2.4.9. TAKE-OFF ACCELERATION ALTITUDE
The aircraft’s climb to its cruising altitude is typically achieved in three basic steps. Following take-off, the aircraft will climb to what is known as the “acceleration altitude”. Once at acceleration altitude, the aircraft’s climb rate is temporarily reduced while its speed is increased to the optimum climb speed (known as the “green dot” speed). Once this speed is reached, the climb rate is
increased so that the chosen cruising altitude can be achieved quickly and
efficiently.
