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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Antonov An-2 began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 84 kt. The aircraft utilized 67% of the available runway, covering a distance of 1,659 meters before lifting off into the air. Local conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt.

As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it transitioned into the enroute phase, passing overhead Yde in the province of Drenthe. The climb was characterized by a gradual increase in altitude, from 235 ft to 253 ft, over a distance of 2 nm in 2 minutes. This steady ascent allowed the aircraft to maintain a stable heading and prepare for the final approach. With the local weather remaining consistent, the aircraft continued its descent, aligning itself with runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde.

The final approach was executed from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 230.0° at an altitude of 236 ft agl. The touchdown was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 40 kt. The touchdown rate was impressive, at -82 fpm, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 700 meters, accounting for 28% of the available runway. The flight concluded with a total distance of 3 nm, utilizing 35 kg less fuel than anticipated.
