The TFR is for the 5 minutes it takes for the
climb out.

5 minutes to FL180?


About 5,000 fpm I was told.



Cruising at 60,000' requires a pretty healthy climb rate...



They only need to get to 18,000 to enter Class A in the US. After that
they can back off the climb profile. Thats less than 4 minutes at 5k fpm.
