Top opportunity

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.

Landing Score 97.05 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) with a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 17.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 108 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,345 feet was also within the expected parameters. The touchdown speed of 97 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. These factors collectively indicate a smooth and controlled landing.

However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 2,529 feet was 34% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills.
