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

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Bulldog T1 aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 30, utilizing 365 meters, or 13% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 70 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand traffic pattern, navigating the initial turn in 17 seconds and the subsequent crosswind turn in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind turn covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 41.1°. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, completing the turn in 6 seconds. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 123.0° at an altitude of 122 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 52 knots and a rate of -54 feet per minute.

The Bulldog T1 aircraft landed on runway 12, utilizing 277 meters, or 10% of the runway's length, to come to a stop. The total landing distance was 460 meters, or 17% of the runway's length, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. The aircraft utilized 2 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 4 nautical miles and lasted approximately 4 minutes. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
