It takes about 2 or 3 seconds to do that. Confirm climbing wings level, adjust pitch trim in the direction of 75 kts and make the radio call. You'd be rocketing skywards now doing at least 2000 fpm.
OMGGGG! And you can do that at 150kts headed straight into a funnel where rising terrain converges up to the cloud bases and you know there's Earth in the cloud ahead that you are about to climb into???? All while unexpectedly having to quickly establish a crosscheck and swap from eyes outside to instruments. SMH
