## Step Modes {#step_modes}
In the following paragraphs, we focus on how the steps' `mode` will manipulate the `mission_profile` from start to landing.
### Takeoff {#takeoff_subparagraph}
The `takeoff` is composed of ground run (break release until lift-off) and first climb segment to screen height ($35\,ft$). First, the aircraft is accelerated from $ 0\,\frac{m}{s} $ to the lift-off velocity $ v_{LOF} $ utilizing the `acceleration increments` of the [Configuration File](getting_started.md/#config_file). According to [EASA's CS-25 rules](https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/document-library/easy-access-rules/easy-access-rules-large-aeroplanes-cs-25), $ v_{LOF} $ equals $ 110\,\%$ $v_{MU}$ (minimum unstick speed) for aerodynamically limited aircrafts and $ 108\,\%$ $v_{MU}$ for geometry limited aircrafts. To generalize the $v_{LOF}$ calculation, a more conservative approach has been implemented. Since the climb speed at screen height $v_2$ should always be (moderately) greater than the lift-off speed, the following approximation is used (all velocities are calibrated airspeeds):

### Change Speed {#change_speed_subparagraph}
See [Accelerate](#accelerate_subparagraph). Unlike `accelerate`, `change_speed` uses a (constant) given glide path angle from the `mission file` to derive a rate of climb. For this reason, it is used for deceleration during approach steps below $10\,000\,ft$ (ATC regulations demand certain glide path angles which can be maintained with this mode).
See [Accelerate](#accelerate_subparagraph). Unlike `accelerate`, `change_speed` uses a (constant) given glide path angle from the `mission file` to derive a rate of climb. Because ATC regulations demand that you can maintain glide path angles between $0°$ and $3°$ at lower altitudes, it is used for deceleration during approach steps below $10\,000\,ft$. .
