climb-out

Post-takeoff rise

Climb-out is the phase of flight immediately after takeoff when an aircraft ascends to cruising altitude.

Pilots and air traffic controllers use the term technically: We experienced turbulence during climb-out.

The word captures the sustained upward trajectory after leaving the runway, before leveling off.
