Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 154 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 173 kt against a rotation target of 154 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 154 kt.
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,723 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,723 m of the 3,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 483 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, a movement that required 7 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 173 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,198 m (40 % of the runway). Local weather at the time was temperature 26 °C, wind 7 kt from 160 °, with a 6 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 2 miles south of Tarnby (Region Hovedstaden, Denmark), with the A320 climbing from 971 ft asl to 31,980 ft asl - an increase of 31,009 ft - over 18 minutes while covering 123 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 miles west of Lerkil (Halland County, Sweden) and lasted 7 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 56 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 3 miles north-east of Brastad (Västra Götaland County, Sweden), descending from 31,992 ft asl to 11,365 ft asl - a loss of 20,627 ft - in 11 minutes and covering 71 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 2 miles east of Askim (Viken, Norway), lasting 5 minutes and encompassing 20 nm of level flight.
The subsequent descent began 3 miles south-east of Bjørkelangen (Viken, Norway), with altitude decreasing from 10,895 ft asl to 1,883 ft asl - a reduction of 9,012 ft - over 7 minutes and a distance of 31 nm.
Final approach to runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen was conducted from the south, on a heading of 16.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,195 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01L, which is 3,595 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 137 kt and a good threshold height. The touchdown point occurred 82 m beyond the touchdown zone; touchdown speed was 132 kt and the vertical speed was minus 124 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather at the airport reported temperature 29 °C, wind 5 kt from 200 °, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind.
The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,657 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that lasted 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 309 nm, required 59 minutes of airborne and ground time, and consumed 2,556 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen from the south, tracking a heading of 16.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,195 ft agl. Local weather was 29 °C with wind 5 kt from 200 °, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 5 kt.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 137 kt. The runway length is 3,595 m.
Touchdown occurred 82 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 132 kt, noted as a little fast. The vertical rate was smooth at minus 124 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance measured 1,657 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the excellent overall technique but trim the approach speed slightly below 132 kt to eliminate the minor excess, and aim to touch down within the designated zone to keep the landing distance well under the current 46 % of runway.
