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 DHC-2 Beaver lifted off from runway 23 after a 397-meter takeoff roll, representing 16% of the available runway length. The aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 65 knots, meeting the required threshold for safe flight. Under local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a negligible headwind of 1 knot from 270°, the aircraft transitioned smoothly into the enroute phase.

Climbing to a cruise altitude, the aircraft flew overhead Yde, a location in the province of Drenthe, Netherlands, before descending into the final approach phase. The aircraft's heading was adjusted to 51.0°, aligning with the approach path to runway 05 at Groningen Airport Eelde. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, with a touchdown speed of 64 knots, slightly below the target value. The touchdown point was 110 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the aircraft's touchdown speed of 46 knots and smooth touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute ensured a safe and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 743 meters, representing 30% of the available runway length, was well within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The total flight distance of 4 nautical miles was completed in 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 8 kilograms. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected values, given the local weather conditions and the pilot's expertise.
