What is the best angle of climb speed?

The best angle of climb speed, often referred to as Vx, is the speed at which an aircraft can achieve the maximum altitude over the shortest horizontal distance. This speed is crucial during takeoff when an aircraft needs to clear obstacles or terrain immediately after departure. For the PA-28A, the recommended Vx is typically around 63 KIAS, making it the most suitable choice.

Flying at this speed allows the aircraft to ensure the best possible climb performance during critical phases of flight, such as when you're flying out of an airport with obstacles nearby. Understanding and utilizing Vx is essential for pilots to enhance safety and performance, especially in takeoff scenarios where altitude gain is more critical than forward distance.
