aborted landings are actually alot more commoun than people think, although it can be a fairly violent event for the people at the back, depending on the stage of approach where the pilot decides to smack the throttle
at airline level, getting a peice of metal that size from deceinding at a 3 degree gradient, to climbing at a 5 degree gradient can be very interesting

Geez - must be a slug - 5 deg up - you typically get better than that OEI.....
If all going well - try up around the 15 nose up - even 20 up if you go rated.
Its not that interesting - you simply press TOGA and the AP/AT look after it ...
Maybe you are getting confused with your 152 there -- 5 up would be typical on a standard day

i was talking path through the air, not nose attitude
- and last time ichecked, its 5 degree minimum climbout.
and we dont use nose attitude in cessnas my friend - we use speeds
*edit* or was it 5%
