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

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 29 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 112 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 51 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 310 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 665 feet above sea level to 2,707 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,042 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile north of Pismo Beach, lasting 9 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 3 miles west of Santa Maria, where the aircraft descended from 2,995 feet above sea level to 806 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,189 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile southwest of KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 30 at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport was made from the southeast, heading 314.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 756 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 39 knots and a touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 289 degrees.

The total landing distance was 386 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes. The aircraft used 11 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
