Just after ...1..... the aircraft gave a shudder and coughed.

Answer Details
The most appropriate option to fill the gap in the sentence "Just after ...1..... the aircraft gave a shudder and coughed" is "departure." In the context of the passage, the aircraft has just taken off, which is referred to as "departure." The word "leaving" would not be appropriate because the aircraft has not yet left the airport, and "flying" is too general and does not accurately reflect the specific stage of flight that the aircraft is in.
