Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 %, bank angle up to 21.0 ° at 50 %, −1.33 points
Enroute Descent — overspeed warning, then 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 67 %, −1.11 points

Know your rotation speed

See 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 Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation approached runway 13R at KHOU William P Hobby Airport on a final approach from the north-west, heading 134.0° at 4 nm and 1,269 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the speed was recorded as too high at 119 kt, though the threshold height was good. Touchdown distance was good at 1,279 ft and touchdown speed was fast at 107 kt, with a touchdown rate of -164 fpm and runway touchdown alignment described as very good. Total landing distance was 2,755 ft, representing 42 % of the 6,573-ft runway.

The rollout continued with runway rollout alignment very good, and the aircraft remained on centreline through the deceleration phase.

Reduce the threshold speed to bring it within the target range and manage the approach to achieve a lower touchdown speed; these adjustments will further optimise the landing profile while preserving the already strong alignment and distance performance.
