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 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 245 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The C750 flight began at LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield, where it taxied from the parking to the runway in less than a minute, covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 32, with a takeoff distance of 785 m, which was 80% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 71 kn, and the local weather indicated a temperature of 13 °C with calm winds.
The enroute climb started overhead La Ravoire in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, climbing from 1,280 ft asl to 2,029 ft asl, an increase of 749 ft in 1 minute covering 2 nm. The enroute level cruise commenced over Chambery in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
The landing occurred on runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, with a runway length of 1,651 m. The height at threshold was 46 ft agl, and the speed at threshold was 63 kn. The touchdown was 243 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 57 kn and a VSI of -176 ft/m. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 14 °C with calm winds.
Finally, taxiing back to the parking from the runway took less than a minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 7 nm, taking 15 minutes and consuming 12,119 kg of fuel.
Great job on achieving an aircraft landing score of 86.3%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to see where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you did an excellent job with glideslope alignment, showing precision and control. However, your heading alignment was poor, indicating a need for sharper focus on maintaining the correct direction. Additionally, your speed was well below target, which could potentially lead to stalling if not addressed. Remember to keep a close eye on your speed and make adjustments as needed to ensure a safe landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated good judgment with the threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare, showing a good understanding of the necessary techniques. However, your landing heading was poor, suggesting the need for more attention to detail when aligning with the runway. This is an area where practice and focus can help improve your overall performance in future landings.
Lastly, in the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Your speed was on target, showcasing consistency in your approach. Additionally, you successfully landed within the touchdown zone, showing precision in your landing positioning. Keep up the good work in these areas and continue to fine-tune your skills to enhance your overall landing proficiency.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing had its strengths and areas for improvement. By focusing on improving your heading alignment, maintaining target speeds, and refining your landing techniques, you can continue to strive for even better future landing scores. Keep practicing and learning from each landing experience to become a more skilled and confident pilot. Great job on your latest landing, and keep up the hard work!
