What went well

Touched down at -87 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,548 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 6.7 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 85 ft agl was significantly above target at 33 %, Threshold speed was well above target at 80 kt at 85 %, −2.26 points
Departure Roll — Strobe Lights at 0 %, Rotation speed was 55 kt at 85 %, −0.62 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 67 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 55 kt, 12 kt before the 67 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 67 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 85 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

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 KBCE Bryce Canyon Airport took approximately 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 03, utilizing 1,227 feet, or 17% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 69 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 67°F.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 8,531 feet above sea level to 11,626 feet, a vertical gain of 3,095 feet, over a distance of 10 nautical miles, within a 4-minute timeframe. The enroute descent phase commenced 11 miles northeast of Tropic, Utah, where the aircraft descended from 11,611 feet to 6,057 feet, a decrease of 5,554 feet, over a distance of 20 nautical miles, within an 8-minute period. The final approach to runway 31 at 1L7 Escalante Muni was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 319.0° at 1 nautical mile and 313 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 31 at 1L7 Escalante Muni, a runway with a length of 5,025 feet, was executed with a threshold height significantly above target at 85 feet above ground level and a threshold speed slightly above target at 80 knots. The touchdown point was 329 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 69 knots and a touchdown rate of -26 feet per minute, both of which were within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was also satisfactory. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 70°F, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 184°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots. The total flight distance was 34 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 15 minutes and a fuel consumption of 13 pounds.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 31 at 1L7 Escalante Muni from the south east was initiated at 1 nm and 313 ft above ground level, heading 319.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 85 ft above ground level, significantly above the target of 50 ft. However, the threshold speed of 80 kt was only slightly above the target of 78 kt.

The aircraft touched down 329 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 69 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate of -26 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 70 °F and a wind of 10 kt at 184°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kt and a tailwind of 7 kt.

The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 80.6%. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, the slightly above-target threshold speed and higher-than-target threshold height may indicate some room for improvement. Nevertheless, the landing was safe and controlled, and the pilot's skills were well demonstrated.
