Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 166 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 184 kt, 18 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 166 kt at liftoff
See 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.

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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 7,068 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,068 ft of the 13,436 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,719 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 777-300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Newark Liberty International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 22R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 99% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 6,958 feet, and the liftoff speed was 184 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 54°F temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 256°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, where the aircraft climbed from 1,060 feet above sea level to 4,308 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,247 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Iselin, New Jersey, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The next enroute climb started 1 mile south of Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, where the aircraft climbed from 4,466 feet above sea level to 31,296 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,830 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southwest of the Bally Spring Farm Airport in Pennsylvania, and lasting 19 minutes, covering a distance of 520 nautical miles. The next enroute climb started 4 miles north of the Glasgow Municipal Airport in Kentucky, where the aircraft climbed from 32,296 feet above sea level to 35,883 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,587 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of the Bowling Green Warren County Regional Airport in Kentucky, and lasting 24 minutes, covering a distance of 448 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Idabel, Oklahoma, where the aircraft descended from 36,825 feet above sea level to 3,075 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,750 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northwest of Hickory Creek, Texas, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18R at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north, heading 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18R was successful, with the touchdown point being 375 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 149 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 64°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 190°.
The total landing distance was 6,824 feet, which was 51% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,201 nautical miles, taking 102 minutes, and the aircraft used 57,954 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on runway 18R. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, adhering to the standard approach procedures.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 149 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown point was 375 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. The touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a gentle headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which did not pose a significant challenge to the landing operation. The runway length of 13,436 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 6,824 feet, accounting for 51% of the available runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.5% indicating a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard procedures.
