Flight at the Best Climb Angle Speed will get you to Top of Climb in the shortest possible DISTANCE. Fuel economy is terrible.

Flight at the Best Climb Rate Speed will get you to Top of Climb in the shortest possible TIME. Fuel economy is quite good.

Flight at the Max Range Climb Speed will get you to Top of Climb with the smallest possible FUEL BURN. This speed is slightly above the Best Climb Rate Speed.

Regards,

Old Smokey
