Default angle of approach or landing range question

When the forward acceleration stopped (climbing at a constant airspeed)
the actual deck angle would be indicated, and that was also 30 degrees.

How were you able to tell that the acceleration had stopped?


I was not able to tell that. However, now that I am a pilot, I know
that aircraft tend to climb at constant airspeed, and are generally
limited to 200-250 knots down low. So, the horizontal acceleration
certainly stopped before I stopped measuring.

What I found was that the combined angle reached 30 degrees partway down
the takeoff roll, and stayed that way through initial climb out.
