Another consideration in this discussion is that the third segment is defined as being flown with takeoff power still set. The time limit on takeoff power becomes a limiting factor if obstacle clearance requires a higher acceleration height. If, for example, the manufacturer specifies a five minute limit on takeoff power, then the second segment time to acceleration height is limited based on the time required for the third segment acceleration and cleanup.
