I can hover in any direction all day long and never take off if I don't reach ETL.  As long as I keep moving, I have "momentum" in every direction but no lift, so what's the point of "momentum?"  In order to take off I need to keep increasing that "momentum" until I reach and exceed ETL, or I'm never going to fly, but only hover.

OP, is this a serious question?  If it is, you really need to go back to where you got your training and ask for a refund!
