The climb is the part of a flight of an aircraft, after take off, consisting of getting the aircraft to the desired cruising altitude. More generally, the term 'climb' means increasing the altitude.

A pilot generally induces a plane to climb by setting the appropriate power level and adjusting the pitch of the plane for the appropriate speed. This technique is far more effective than trying to achieve a particular climb rate directly.
