I edited my post, as it was ambiguous

But seriously, I did my twin work in the US and they divided the departure into 4 phases, I'm posting from a hotel room, so don't have my notes to hand, but it was something like

1st segment. Liftoff to gear up (so I guess similar to the 35 feet in the standard)

2nd segment. End of the 1st to at least 400'

3rd segment. End of the 2nd, acceleration to final climb speed

4th segment. End of the 3rd to at least 1500' AAL
