Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.5 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

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 report
Landing on runway 17 at KMHT Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 93.46 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (KMHT) with a score of 93.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 157.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 17, which has a length of 8,041 feet.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 122 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown point was 582 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 103 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.

The total landing distance was 3,571 feet, which is 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessive given the aircraft's performance characteristics. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed. The pilot's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment is commendable, and with further practice, the pilot can refine their skills to achieve an even higher score.
