Know your rotation speed

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.

This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Hanama'ulu, Hawaii, and ascended from an altitude of 1,117 feet above sea level to 32,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,893 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started overhead SB35 Honolulu, Hawaii, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles west of PHNY Lanai Airport, Lanai City, Hawaii, and descended from 32,123 feet above sea level to 10,477 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,646 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 21 miles west of PHUP Upolu Airport, Hawi, Hawaii, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 12 miles northwest of Puako, Hawaii, and descended from 10,074 feet above sea level to 1,353 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,721 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 17 at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole was made from the north, heading 185.0 degrees, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 3,360 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 243 meters, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -457 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 17 at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole in the McDonnell Douglas MD-88
Landing Score 97.06 %
Landing Summary

The MD-88 aircraft successfully landed at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The final approach to runway 17 was conducted from the north, heading 185.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 243 meters, and the touchdown speed of 135 knots was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was a bit hard at -457 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 320°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 4 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing. The runway length of 3,360 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.

The total landing distance of 1,240 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled approach, and the aircraft responded well to the controls. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent speed during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing a safe and efficient approach and landing.
