Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 125 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 150 kt, 25 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 125 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 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 6,971 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,480 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at PHBK Barking Sands Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll from runway 34 was initiated, and the aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 2,761 feet, which was 92% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at 1 mile north of PHBK Barking Sands Airport and reached an altitude of 21,616 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,602 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 78°F, wind speed of 10 knots at 10°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southeast of PHLI Lihue Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began its descent from 21,607 feet above sea level to 2,563 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,044 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 3 miles south of Ocean Pointe and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following this, the aircraft began its descent from 2,028 feet above sea level to 1,265 feet above sea level, a decrease of 763 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was initiated from the southwest, heading 53.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 04L, which had a length of 6,971 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 127 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,477 feet, and the touchdown speed was at 120 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F, wind speed of 14 knots at 60°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,813 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 120 nautical miles, taking 42 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,072 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 53.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 127 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,477 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was faster than expected, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 17 feet, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned touchdown.
The total landing distance of 2,813 feet was 40% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
