Once reaching a safe altitude, reduce the engine power to maintain the
flight level at the desired speed.

TAKE-OFF WITH CROSS WIND:

The maximum permitted cross wind for take-off and landing is 15 Kts.
The procedure to take-off with a cross wind is the same as with no wind but
it´s necessary to use the controls properly.
In cross wind conditions the control stick should be moved into wind to keep
the aircraft´s direction whilst the pedals should be used to keep the
alignment with the runway.
ABORT TAKE-OFF
If during the pre-rotation or the take-off there is any disadvantage such not
enough runway, the pilot should abort the take-off operation. The procedure
is to reduce the engine power to minimum, use the left pedal to keep the
alignment with the runway and flare to land. It is important to train this
maneuver to fly safely.
