Our minimum level-off with an engine-out is 800', but may potentially be higher with an airport analysis. We don't normally touch flaps until 3,000'.

In some of my light airplane flying, the airplane is accelerated in ground effect while flaps are retracted, and then a turn on course made often before the end of the runway.
