Know your rotation speed

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.

Landing Score 96.96 %
Landing Summary

Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 09C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 60 feet agl being above the target. However, the threshold speed was good, reaching 115 knots, which is a desirable speed for landing. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 1,184 feet, and the touchdown speed of 107 knots was good as well.

Despite the satisfactory performance in terms of speed and distance, the touchdown rate was hard, measuring -423 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a relatively high rate of descent, which may require further analysis to determine the cause. On the other hand, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 69°. The crosswind component was relatively low, measuring 6 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.

The total landing distance was 2,315 feet, which is 22% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing of aircraft C750 on runway 09C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport was successful, with a score of 97.0%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the hard touchdown rate, the overall performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within a short distance.
