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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14L at Cologne Bonn Airport, EDDK. The aircraft, an Airbus H160, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 89 kt, covering a takeoff distance of 206 meters, which accounted for 5% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 5 kt from a direction of 307 °.

As the aircraft transitioned to level cruise, it flew overhead Cologne Bonn Airport, marking the beginning of a brief 1-minute cruise phase that covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This enroute phase was short-lived, and the aircraft soon began its descent for landing.

The final approach to Cologne Bonn Airport was initiated from an altitude of 61 feet above ground level (agl), with the aircraft descending to touch down at the same point. The descent was steep, with the aircraft losing 41 feet in altitude over a period of just 4 seconds. The touchdown speed was a respectable 24 kt, but the touchdown rate was quite hard, with a rate of -592 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance was, however, good, measuring 37 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 5 kt from a direction of 320 °. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt.

The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 2 nautical miles and lasting 2 minutes. The Airbus H160 used a total of -7 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway XX at Cologne Bonn Airport in the Airbus H160
Landing Score 87.07 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus H160 successfully completed a landing at Cologne Bonn Airport, achieving a score of 87.1%. The aircraft's final approach began at an altitude of 61 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the airport, demonstrating a precise and controlled descent.

As the aircraft continued its descent, it reached an altitude of 41 feet agl before touching down safely on the runway. This 41-foot decrease in altitude occurred within a mere 4 seconds, showcasing the pilot's exceptional skill and control over the aircraft. The rapid descent was likely a result of the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft, a technique used to slow down the descent rate and ensure a smooth touchdown.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 24 knots, which is considered good for a landing. However, the touchdown rate was quite high at -592 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively hard landing. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 37 meters was deemed good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and avoid any significant deviations from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable and controlled descent. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control over the Airbus H160.
