Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 155 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.3 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,383 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,232 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 13R at OMAA Zayed International Airport, located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The takeoff distance was 3,339 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 87°F and winds of 4 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departing the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile south east of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,095 feet above sea level to 44,592 feet above sea level, an increase of 43,496 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 26 miles west of OMSN Sir Abu Nu'ayr Airport, Sir Abu Nu'ayr, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 273 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 22 miles north west of OEAA Abu Ali Airport, Al Jubail, where it descended from 44,634 feet above sea level to 3,102 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,533 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 6 miles west of Al Farwaniyah, Kuwait, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15L at OKKK Kuwait Intl was made from the north west, heading 155.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15L at OKKK Kuwait Intl was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,228 feet and a touchdown speed of 114 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 70°F and winds of 7 knots at 180°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,174 feet, which is 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 493 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 97 minutes. The aircraft used 2,705 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 15L at Kuwait International Airport (OKKK) with a score of 98.8%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 155.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 112 knots, which is a desirable outcome as it suggests a controlled and gentle touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was a little fast, which may indicate a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a relatively hard touchdown, which may have some implications for the aircraft's landing gear and overall safety.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended flight path during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more controlled touchdown speed and ensuring a more precise alignment with the runway centerline.
