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 30L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in the McDonnell Douglas MD-88
Landing Score 94.76 %
Landing Summary

The MD-88 aircraft successfully landed on runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport with a score of 94.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.

However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 171 knots, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 164 knots was faster than recommended, which can lead to a firmer touchdown and potentially increase the risk of damage to the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -349 feet per minute (fpm) was also firm, indicating a relatively steep descent.

Despite these issues, the touchdown distance of 387 meters was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was negligible, but the headwind component of 11 knots helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and made the landing more manageable.

The total landing distance of 1,220 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.

Overall, while there were some areas of concern during the landing, the MD-88 aircraft was able to safely touch down on runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. With some adjustments to the pilots' technique and a review of the aircraft's performance, the landing score of 94.8% can be improved in future attempts.
