I think this is because the takeoff phase is not ending if the acceleration altitude is not set.

Yup, it is.

Added this comment before I saw yours, but I think we need to do something about it.

We probably need to set a default value for that in the MCDU. Not sure if it should be set automatically all the time, or if it should be set when starting from runway or flight, though. @AdenFlorian mentioned in #322 that someone starting from the runway should be able to "spawn on the runway, turn off parking brake, and takeoff without any other changes". FWIW I agree, and I also think most players would expect that to be the case.

I had this issue today starting from cold and dark even, the MCDU was stuck into the takeoff PERF page so managed speed didn't work even on latest commit

The fix made it so that you should transition out of the takeoff phase when one of the following conditions is met:

  • agl > acceleration altitude
  • agl > thrustReductionAltitude
  • agl >1500

The aircraft will now begin climb phase once the aircraft is 1500ft above ground-level if no acceleration speed is set in the MCDU. The new fix is working correctly.
