Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 148 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 169 kt against a rotation target of 148 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 148 kt.
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.

Plan view — the first 5,103 ft of the 11,290 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,495 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots, covering a distance of 6,103 feet, which was 66% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 58°F, a wind speed of 3 knots at 340°, and a crosswind of 0 knots with a headwind of 3 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of the airport and reached an altitude of 35,933 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 92 nautical miles and took 23 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 154 minutes and covered a distance of 1,127 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climb and level cruise phases, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 36,104 feet to 37,808 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles, and then entered a level cruise phase that lasted for 201 minutes and covered 1,557 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, which started 2 miles north east of San Pedro y San Pablo Tequistepec in Mexico. The descent phase covered a distance of 93 nautical miles and took 16 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 39,544 feet to 12,402 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 60.0° and an altitude of 1,450 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 112 knots and a touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 4,840 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,997 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 563 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 126,335 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at Benito Juárez International Airport, specifically on runway 05R. The final approach was executed from the southwest, heading 60.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,450 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.8%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 112 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,502 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. The touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute was within the desired parameters, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
However, there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 124 knots, which may indicate a slight delay in the pilot's response to the landing configuration. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which could be attributed to a minor miscalculation or adjustment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal, which contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 4,840 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for approximately 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process and subsequent rollout.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft at Benito Juárez International Airport was satisfactory, with a few minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and expertise, and the aircraft performed well under the given weather conditions.
