Unfortunately, take-off is over in 30 seconds.


With a modern runway in front of me around 700m long and no
obstructions above 200 feet for a km or so I will be safely off the
ground and established in the climb at 30 seconds.
30 minutes I will be clear of the circuit at my (C172) cruising
altitude and on track for my destination.
