Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 155 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 178 kt, 23 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 155 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UMKK Khrabrovo Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 06, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 178 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -3 °C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 90 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead UMKK Khrabrovo Airport. The climb took 22 minutes to reach a height of 35,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,872 feet from the initial altitude of 1,137 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 141 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. This phase began 10 miles north east of Kuldiga, Latvia. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles south east of Kolka, Latvia. The descent took 21 minutes to reach a height of 1,581 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,422 feet from the initial altitude of 35,003 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,439 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,216 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was 347 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -401 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -12 °C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 110 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,379 meters, which was 43 % of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centreline.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,577 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,439 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 08, which has a length of 3,216 meters.
The landing was executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 347 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate was hard at -401 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cold, with a temperature of -12°C, and a light wind of 3 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,379 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some deviation from the ideal path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with a good score of 93.4%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, as well as a slight misalignment during the rollout phase.
