Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 155 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 179 kt, 24 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 155 kt at liftoff
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,961 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,961 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 581 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 09R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,658 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 179 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Mauregard, with the aircraft ascending from 1,360 feet above sea level to 35,097 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,738 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles west of Ennordres, lasting 16 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Eyrein, with the aircraft descending from 35,039 feet above sea level to 1,788 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,250 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 323.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 32L, which was 3,501 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -195 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 335 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,881 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 339 nautical miles, taking 69 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,081 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO) with a score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 323.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration.
The touchdown point was located 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 335°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,881 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
