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 on runway 03R at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in the Airbus A300
Landing Score 99.03 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A300 approached runway 03R at KDTW from the south-west on a heading of 29.0° at 4 nm and 1,214 ft agl, with a temperature of 70 °F, wind 3 kt from 20°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 3 kt. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 145 kt.

Touchdown occurred 904 ft beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was excellent at minus 96 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 6,350 ft, representing 64 % of the 9,996-ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

With a final score of 99.0 % the landing was strong; refining the approach to achieve the target threshold speed and reducing the touchdown speed will bring the touchdown point closer to the intended zone and further optimise performance.
