Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 139 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 160 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 139 kt at liftoff

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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,053 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was the departure point for this Boeing 777-200ER flight. After taxiing from the parking area to the runway, the aircraft took to the skies from runway 25R, utilizing 4,586 feet of the 12,123-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 160 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead El Segundo, California, and continued to ascend to 37,994 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 49 minutes and covered 419 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 38,281 feet to 39,979 feet, before entering another level cruise phase that lasted for 193 minutes and covered 1,541 nautical miles. The descent phase began 68 miles northeast of Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii, and the aircraft touched down on runway 26L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, utilizing 1,060 feet of the 11,991-foot runway.
The landing was characterized by a firm touchdown rate of -306 feet per minute and a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 4,492 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The flight utilized 68,562 pounds of fuel and covered a total distance of 2,259 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 316 minutes.
The Boeing 777-200ER touched down on runway 26L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport with a score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, aligning with the heading of 266.0° at 1 nm and 530 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a stable airspeed.
As the aircraft crossed the threshold, it maintained a speed of 131 kt, meeting the required threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,060 ft was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft came to rest on the runway with a firm touchdown rate of -306 fpm. However, the touchdown speed of 129 kt was slightly above the ideal, indicating a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 4,492 ft was 37% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient deceleration. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable landing. Overall, the landing was a credit to the crew's skill and attention to detail, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
