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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 02 at Christchurch International Airport (NZCH). The takeoff distance was 1,968 feet, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 104 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Christchurch International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,110 feet above sea level to 8,098 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 47 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Kaiapoi, a town in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. The aircraft's altitude remained relatively constant during this period.

The next enroute climb phase began 5 miles east of Cheviot, another town in the Canterbury region. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 7,044 feet above sea level to 15,155 feet above sea level in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 53 nautical miles. This phase took place 10 miles south of Kaikoura, a coastal town in the Canterbury region.

The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 14,905 feet above sea level to 3,984 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This descent phase started 15 miles southeast of Cape Campbell airstrip, which is located near Blenheim in the Marlborough region of New Zealand.

The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. This phase took place 17 miles southeast of Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 2 miles north of Porirua, a city in the Wellington region. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,988 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16 at Wellington International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 16, which has a length of 5,954 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 93 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 894 feet, but the touchdown speed was fast at 79 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -282 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,694 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 201 nautical miles, and the flight duration was

Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the TBM 930
Landing Score 93.94 %
Landing Summary

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 5,954 feet.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 92 knots, coming in at 93 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 894 feet, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. However, the touchdown speed of 79 knots was reported as fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly over-speeding during the landing. The touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight loss of altitude during the touchdown.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 14 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which helped to slow the aircraft down during the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,694 feet, which is 28% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score and demonstrating good control and handling during the approach and landing phases.
