What Vaibronco said is right !
We do all our vertical take-off, it does not matter how high you have to climb, the same way, day or night.
If you do that all time, you just know what you gone see and what the aircraft is doing. 10 degrees nose down 1 second, level off, you know that the airspeed won't show up until you reach 40, with VTOSS, 5 degrees nose up to reach Vy.
We don't have to guess what to do, it is always the same.
I never said "guess" or use different profiles, I said use the visual references in daytime (when they exist) and use instruments at night, or in degraded day visual conditions. Are you saying you can't set 10 degrees nose down, or zero pitch by looking out the window?
