What do you do at 400 AGL? I'm curious as I don't do anything until
1000 (fuel pump off, power set to climb, etc.).




I make any required initial turn to follow an IFR departure procedure or
follow an ATC departure clearance. I also transition to climb power at that
altitude. Waiting until 1000 AGL for climb power is also a good practice;
some say to not fool with the engine until you can turn back to the field.
I just like to slow the prop as soon as I can for noise reduction.

I've used 1000 as that is what Flight Safety recommended.
