This is where the rotating at TOSS nonsense comes from. Day VFR syllabus, page 2-32 Unit A2 Take off aeroplane.
Element A2.2
• Accelerates aircraft along the centreline to the take-off safety speed,
allowing for wind
• Rotates aircraft to the target climb attitude at approximately 3° per
second

Also, I forgot to finish a sentence in a earlier post. Dinner was ready.

There are some instructors at Moorabbbin that teach their students to hold Seminoles on ground until blue line before rotating! Why? They believe its safer in case of EFATO. I reckon at 88kts, the only thing still on the runway will be the nose wheel. I wonder if this was a contributor to a number of nose gear collapse incidents and resulting AD that followed.
