Col Secreted in your cambodian jungle hidout you've got it pretty much right.
1. Get airborne at the manufacturer's recomended speed (which varies at diff weights etc). Wheels up as soon as safe, flaps thereafter, irrespective of runway length.
2. Accelerate to Vy (or Vx - rare)
3. Once at circuit height in day VMC or LSALT IMC/night, cruise climb speeds.
As I said earlier, to do anything else wastes energy.
IFR ME aircraft are required to be able to CLIMB at 1% to 5000' in the ISA. That usually means a reduction in TOW in order to achieve that. Now, how many people REALLY comply with that??
Even if you DID comply, it ain't much help on a 40 degree humid day if you can climb at 15degreesC.
AND 1% at say Vyse at 106 knots is about 107fpm.

Hey
Gaunty - struggling with the maths at the moment after a few to many Boags last night, but getting there. Got a feeling around 9 degrees, but just trying to force some equations together. Need a bigger hammer methinks!
