During the Oso transition, what is the required climb altitude and target speed?

During transitions, a specific altitude and airspeed are chosen to balance obstacle clearance with stable energy management as you move from one phase to the next. For the Oso transition, climbing to 1000 feet MSL and holding 200 KIAS gives you a safe, controllable path that keeps you clear of terrain and obstacles while still allowing efficient travel and proper readiness for the subsequent segment. Climbing to 1000 feet MSL provides a modest, reliable clearance in the local airspace, especially in a low-altitude training environment. Maintaining 200 KIAS keeps you out of the stall region, gives you good maneuverability and reaction time, and ensures you’re not proceeding too slowly or too quickly for the transition. The other values would place you either higher than necessary or at speeds that aren’t as conducive to safe, stable transition performance.
