Know your rotation speed
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: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,250 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 114 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 777-300 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking only 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 36R at LTAI Antalya, with the takeoff distance being 736 m, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed reached 151 knots.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft steadily ascended from 1,231 ft above sea level to 36,591 ft, covering a total increase of 35,360 ft in just 16 minutes and spanning 106 nm. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 12 miles north of Anamur, lasting 11 minutes and covering 93 nm.
As the journey continued, the enroute descent began 16 miles south of Rizokarpaso, descending from 37,188 ft to 1,804 ft, resulting in a decrease of 35,384 ft in 21 minutes and covering 108 nm. The landing occurred on runway 03 at OLBA Beirut Intl, with the aircraft flying over a runway length of 2,250 m. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, with a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) of -112 ft/min. The touchdown point was 116 m from the threshold, with the total landing distance being 1,293 m or 57% of the runway length.
Upon landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area, taking only 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. Throughout the flight, the local weather conditions varied slightly, with temperatures ranging from 25-26 °C and wind speeds varying between 5-6 knots, with crosswind and headwind components being 2-3 knots and 5-6 knots respectively.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 316 nm, lasting 96 minutes and consuming 7,674 kg of fuel.
