Things You'll Need:
- Airplane
- Flight instructor or Pilot License
- A lot of Money

Step 1
After starting your Airplane and taxiing to the runway. Position your aircraft on the center of the tarmac. Apply appropriate throttle and use your right foot for right rudder control. (this will counter the left turning tendency after apply power)

Step 2
Use stable rudder controls to keep you centered on the runway. When you reach Vr speed (found in your Aircraft manual) slowly and smoothly pull back on the controls to lift off.

Step 3
Once airborne, establish and maintain appropriate speed for your climb. Set your trim to ease the controls.

Step 4
Start to level off about 50 feet before your desired altitude and set trim again to relieve controls.

Step 5
Once at cruising altitude and level, lean the mixture due to the increase of altitude.
