It climbed out about 400 ft/min(it was light and cool) I made it up to a 1000 agl came back around pumped the gear down and landed safely. Thats not even a transport category airplane. If I would have done something dumb like chop the power it would have went off the end and god knows how that would turn out. I hope you are just inexperienced and your company doesn't teach things like that.
He is serious, and don't call him Surely.
