What should be avoided when attempting to fly out of ground effect?

When attempting to fly out of ground effect, it is crucial to achieve the best angle of climb speed before leaving ground effect. The best angle of climb speed is important because it provides the maximum altitude gain over distance in the shortest possible time. If you attempt to lift off and fly out of ground effect without reaching this speed, you may not have enough lift to climb efficiently, which can lead to a stall or hinder your ability to gain altitude safely.

Flying with a heavy load may impose additional challenges but does not directly relate to the timing of lifting off. Utilizing less than full flaps affects lift characteristics during takeoff, but again, the primary concern is ensuring adequate speed. Making sharp turns can compromise airflow over the wings and increase the risk of a stall, but ensuring you are at the best angle of climb speed is the most critical first step in a safe departure from ground effect.
