Aircraft Landing and Takeoff Hazards in Early Training Plans
The text explains field length depends on openness and obstacle clearance for training planes. It notes landing in a field may be safer than climbing out of it for certain machines and engines, and that average army trainers climb slowly, needing about 45 minutes to reach 15 feet, with difficulty above that. The first turn after takeoff is deemed most dangerous due to low altitude and speed, with many accidents from combining climb and turn. It also defines vertical bank as a bank over degrees and describes rapid turns to prevent skidding.
