Systems, devices, and methods that may include: determining one or more take-off variables (700) for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicle (300); increasing an altitude of the VTOL aerial vehicle to a first altitude (706), where increasing the altitude comprises substantially vertical flight of the VTOL aerial vehicle; performing a first pre-rotation check of the VTOL aerial vehicle (708); adjusting a pitch of the VTOL aerial vehicle to a first pitch angle via motor control (710); adjusting the pitch of the VTOL aerial vehicle to a second pitch angle via at least one of: motor control and one or more effectors (712); and adjusting the pitch of the VTOL aerial vehicle to a third pitch angle via the one or more effectors (714), where the third pitch angle is substantially perpendicular to a vertical plane.
