Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 138 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 154 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 138 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 62 m past the target, landing at 519 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at ESMS Malmö Sturup Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 154 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,209 m, which represented 43 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 300°, a cross-wind component of 12 kt and a head-wind component of 9 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of the airport, with the airplane rising from 1,222 ft asl to 24,010 ft asl, an altitude gain of 22,787 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 43 nm.
The level-cruise segment began 18 miles south of Smygehamn and persisted for 12 minutes, during which the flight covered 79 nm.
Descent was initiated over Steffenshagen in Germany, descending from 23,988 ft asl to 1,387 ft asl, a loss of 22,601 ft accomplished in 14 minutes and spanning 68 nm.
On final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,383 ft agl to 57 ft agl in 118 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold speed of 123 kt; touchdown occurred 97 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 116 kt and a vertical rate of minus 160 fpm, with runway alignment described as very good. Local weather at the time was 17 °C, wind 8 kt from 280°, cross-wind 6 kt and head-wind 5 kt. The total landing roll measured 1,219 m, equivalent to 39 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft subsequently taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 199 nm, required 48 minutes from departure to arrival, and consumed 1,684 kg of fuel.
