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 on runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 96.84 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) with a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway surface.

However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was too high at 116 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe touchdown. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 102 knots was also faster than ideal, resulting in a slightly rougher landing. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot managed to absorb the impact of the landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was even weaker at 1 knot.

The total landing distance of 2,858 feet was 39% of the runway length, which is within a safe margin. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a stable and aligned manner. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed management to achieve a smoother and more efficient landing.
