Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 153 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 184 kt, 31 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 153 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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 1,559 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 184 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 139°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Enzersdorf an der Fischa in Niederoesterreich, Austria. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,663 feet above sea level to 10,933 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,270 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Lassee in Niederoesterreich, Austria. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting overhead Matzen in Niederoesterreich, Austria. The climb took place from an altitude of 11,096 feet above sea level to 22,018 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,923 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Langau in Niederoesterreich, Austria. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 55 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Hulice in the Stredocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic. The descent took place from an altitude of 21,517 feet above sea level to 2,482 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,034 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the northeast, with a heading of 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 129°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,068 meters, which is 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 171 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 39 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,883 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 139 knots. The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the deviation.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 129°.
The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing. Nevertheless, the total landing distance of 1,068 meters was only 29% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, further demonstrating the pilot's expertise.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The high score of 99.8% reflects the pilot's skill and attention to detail, as well as the aircraft's performance under the given weather conditions.
