Default Duo Turbo Climb / Altitude performance

Even with zero rate of climb in the US midwest then
if the Duo T engine is started at a safe altitude then
the likelyhood of an off-airfield landing will be considerably
reduced - it just might not be the home airfield:-)


With my self-launcher, I usually (but not always) consider 1000' agl a
safe altitude to start the engine . In the situation you describe, what
would you consider a "safe altitude"? High enough to fly level to the
airport, or would you count on some climb along way, or ?
