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 Summary

The DA42-TDI aircraft successfully landed at KHPN Westchester County Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 330.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 1,996 meters.

The threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 75 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was slowing down slightly too quickly. The touchdown distance of 346 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots was also within acceptable limits.

Despite a fair touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm), the aircraft's performance during the landing was generally satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance.

The total landing distance of 542 meters was 27% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the approach and touchdown phases.
