Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 153 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 173 kt, 20 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 153 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 1,725 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,725 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 376 m touchdown sits inside 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 Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 1,660 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 173 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Norderstedt, Germany, and the aircraft climbed from 1,099 feet above sea level to 33,070 feet, an increase of 31,971 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles west of Ebeltoft, Denmark, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering 146 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent overhead Haellevadsholm, Sweden, and descended from 31,901 feet to 10,124 feet, a decrease of 21,777 feet in 10 minutes, covering 64 nautical miles. Another level cruise started 3 miles northeast of Askim, Norway, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The final descent began 3 miles southeast of Bjorkelangen, Norway, and the aircraft descended from 10,092 feet to 1,948 feet, a decrease of 8,144 feet in 8 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01L at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, from the south, heading 16.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 01L, which is 3,594 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 376 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -364 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 0°C temperature and winds of 4 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,649 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 411 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,232 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 376 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft to the center of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 138 knots was good, indicating a well-executed approach.
The total landing distance of 1,649 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 96.5%.
