passengers to expect a sudden burst of
initial acceleration. Because of the relatively
short runway, I planned to hold the
brakes, run the engines up to full power,
then release them all at once and gain flying
speed as quickly as possible.
If, for some reason, we had to abort
T-10
the takeoff, getting to decision speed
quickly would leave as much remaining
runway surface as possible to stop. Such
" static " takeoffs are standard for short
runways, but they feel much different
to passengers than the " rolling " takeoffs
they're accustomed to at long runways.
The passengers understood and
seemed to look forward to the energetic
departure-and the Citation didn't disappoint.
The airport we were leaving was
just a few feet above sea level, and a brisk
winter day with cold, dense air had the
jet surging forward like a sprinter out of
the blocks, and it reached its 100-plus
knot rotation speed in about 10 seconds.
Once airborne, I retracted the landing
gear and flaps while pitching the

nose about 17 degrees above the horizon.
I engaged the autopilot and programmed
it to maintain a steep climb during our
initial ascent to 7,000 feet, and we clawed
our way skyward at about 4,000 feet per
minute. It was an aggressive climb rate
and angle, and the airplane's performance
was impressive.
My fellow pilot, a veteran corporate
flier, was fine with the static takeoff, but
not the steep climb.
" Why don't you lower the nose to 10
degrees so that you don't send the passengers
floating at zero Gs when we level
off? " he said. " Fly the table. "
He had a point. Now that we were
safely airborne, I should tone it down
and fly with a little less exuberance. The
passengers knew to expect quick acceleration
on takeoff, but I hadn't said
anything about a maximum-effort climb.
I adjusted the autopilot so the airplane
would fly at a faster airspeed, and
the pitch attitude obediently came down
to 10 degrees and stayed there for the
remainder of our climb into the flight
levels. But what did the pilot mean when
he said to " fly the table? " I'd never heard
the term before.
" I'm talking about the table in the
cabin, " he said. " Fly in such a way that
items placed on the table won't slide
off in flight. That makes it easier to be
smooth. "
Flying the table is the opposite of the
crisp, hyper-precise style that aerobatic
