Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 153 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
Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 128 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 135 kt, well above the 128 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 128 kt on short final.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 531 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24 at LEIB Ibiza Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,022 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 26 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 25 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,006 feet above sea level to 24,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,998 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started over LEIB Ibiza Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached the desired altitude. The climb was followed by an enroute level cruise, which began 28 miles north of Cala de Portinatx and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 24,008 feet above sea level to 8,997 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,011 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The descent started 10 miles south of La Pineda, and the aircraft continued to descend until it reached the desired altitude.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which began 3 miles south of Pontons and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, which started over Castellvi de Rosanes and ended at 5,963 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,042 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which began over Montmelo and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, which started 1 mile south of Vilassar de Mar and ended at 2,450 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,484 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which began 7 miles south of Arenys de Mar and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport began from the north-east, heading 246.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown point 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was fast, while the touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 250°.
The total landing distance was 1,258 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 256 nautical miles, and the flight used 935 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 97.9%. The final approach to runway 24R was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was significantly above the target speed of 136 kt. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft before touchdown. However, the touchdown point was 114 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 127 kt, which is faster than the recommended speed for a safe landing. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied more gentle braking or used a more gradual descent to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent but could have done better.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had excellent control and managed to align the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a headwind of 14 kt at 250°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,258 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent and braking effectively. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had excellent control and managed to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
