Know your rotation speed

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.

Landing report
Landing on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 99.33 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at an altitude of 159 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This indicates a precise and controlled descent, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 05, which has a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, suggesting that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when it touched down. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 122 knots, which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 423 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.

The touchdown speed of 112 knots was also reported as good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation after touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. However, the pilots were able to compensate for these conditions and achieve a successful landing.

The total landing distance of 1,130 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown and maintain a stable rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.

Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was a success, with a high score of 99.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing, the pilots were able to compensate for these conditions and achieve a smooth and controlled landing.
