Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 150 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 168 kt, 18 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 150 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Plan view — the first 1,593 m of the 2,954 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 391 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 777-200ER started with a 14-minute taxi from the parking area to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport. The departure roll covered 41% of the runway with a takeoff distance of 1,362 meters at a liftoff speed of 168 knots. The local weather at takeoff was 20°C with a wind of 18 knots coming from 270° resulting in a headwind of 18 knots.
The enroute climb began south of Harmondsworth, climbing from 1,106 feet above sea level to 33,673 feet in 21 minutes, covering 114 nautical miles. The level cruise segment started over Newton Poppleford, lasting 41 minutes and spanning 282 nautical miles. Another climb occurred, from 34,984 feet to 36,351 feet, covering 12 miles in 2 minutes.
The second level cruise phase began and lasted 193 minutes, covering 1,504 nautical miles. Another brief climb occurred, followed by a 126-minute level cruise covering 1,034 miles. The descent phase lasted 23 minutes, descending from 39,708 feet to 4,112 feet over 91 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda was from the east at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The touchdown on runway 30 was at a speed of 137 knots with a touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute.
Total landing distance was 1,508 meters, covering 51% of the runway length. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,090 nautical miles, lasting 433 minutes and consuming 47,549 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at TXKF L.F. Wade International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 30 was executed from the east, with a heading of 281.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high score of 99.4%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, with the threshold speed being 141 knots. This speed is within the acceptable range for a safe landing, and it suggests that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach. The touchdown distance of 391 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft down smoothly and safely.
The touchdown speed of 137 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and avoid any excessive deceleration. However, the touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilots may have been able to improve their control of the aircraft during the landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 200°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which the pilots were able to successfully manage during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,508 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft.
