The Ted Coningsby crew were at RAF Lakenheath for our world famous show, "Quick Climb Friday" and we were back at the field at 06. Two F-15E Strike Eagles were cleared for quick climbs and the first one was fantastic but creeping up behind us was this phenomenal takeoff with a 'Wing Wave'.

So what is a Quick Climb?
Unlike the Typhoon which accelerates vertically after between 8 to 10 seconds from brakes to take off, aircraft such as the F15E or F35A will usually clear the whole runway maintaining an altitude anywhere between 40-100ft with speeds of around 320mph and then pull the aircraft vertically or near vertical to quickly climb to the aircraft's cruising altitude. It is more commonly requested by the pilot as a "quick climb" more usual.

What is an Unrestricted Climb?
It is the same as a quick climb.

What is a PTO (Performance Take Off)
This is typical of aircraft such as a Eurofighter Typhoon where the pilot will be at full throttle with reheats (afterburners) and from brakes off will be pulling into a vertical climb between 8-10 seconds. A PTO are for aircraft that have a higher thrust than the weight of the aircraft. For example, the Eurofighter Typhoon produces 40,000 lbs of thrust combined from the two EJ200 Rolls Royce engines but the aircraft weighs less in lbs than the thrust produced which mean it can accelerate vertically.

Why do they do Unrestricted climbs/PTOs/Quick climbs
There are many reasons such as clearing airspace barriers, short runways, to burn fuel before air-to-air refuelling or just to get to a destination quicker. But these are just a few reasons, one also could be to impress the Ted Coningsby Squadron...ooh yeah!

What is a 'local climb'?
This is your standard departure, just a simple take-off

Can pilots just do quick climbs?
No, all take offs are cleared for a standard take off / local climb out but a pilot can request a quick climb but this has to be cleared by ATC.

RAF Lakenheath may have the title R.A.F. but it is in fact a USAF base or even more precise, a USAFE base (United States Air Forces in Europe). It has been a US Air Force base since 1948 and it is home to the 48th Fighter Wing. The wing has four combat-ready fighter squadrons; 492d, 493d, 494th and 495th Fighter Squadrons.
