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

Departing from Cotswold Airport (EGBP), the Cessna C195 began its takeoff roll on runway 08, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 97 kt. The aircraft utilized 73% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 1,176 m before lifting off into the air. Local conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt from a direction of 269°.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 656 ft above sea level to a cruising altitude of 513 ft. This climb was achieved in a short 1-minute period, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nm. The climb rate was notable, with an increase of 144 ft in altitude. The aircraft continued on its eastbound heading, eventually entering the final approach phase to runway 26 at EGBP. The approach was characterized by a heading of 260.0° and an altitude of 86 ft above ground level, with the aircraft maintaining a steady descent.

Upon touchdown, the Cessna C195 demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 31 m, although the touchdown speed of 79 kt was slightly above the target. The aircraft's touchdown rate was, however, perfect at -30 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The local weather conditions remained consistent, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from a direction of 270°.
