How to Take off in a Cessna 172

Line up with the runway. As you do so, ensure that the Directional Gyro matches the runway heading (Correction for the wind if there is crosswind).

Advance the throttle in about 3 seconds time all the way to full. (Check your mixture rich.)

As soon as plane starts moving, perform this visual check: Oil Pressure in Green Oil Temperature in Green

Call out "Power available" (minimum 2300 RPM) and "Airspeed alive" when your Airspeed Indicator comes alive. This should occur somewhere around 35 KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed).

Pull back slowly on the yoke when 55 KIAS is reached. Rotate at 60 KIAS.

Lower your nose once off the ground for the best rate of climb speed (75 KIAS).
