Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 142 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
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 1,618 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,618 m of the 3,292 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 418 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UBBB Heydar Aliyev International Airport, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 867 meters, which is 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12°C and wind blowing at 8 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. After departing from the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued to an altitude of 31,002 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 72 nautical miles and took 13 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 29,957 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles. This phase took place 2 miles north-east of Aghsu, Azerbaijan. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles south-east of Agdas, Azerbaijan. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 28,853 feet, from 31,193 feet to 2,341 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 12 at UBBG Ganja International Airport was made from the north-west, with a heading of 127.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 419 meters, which is good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C and wind blowing at 8 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,535 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 180 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 39 minutes. The aircraft used 662 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at UBBG Ganja International Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 127.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 12, which has a length of 3,292 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 131 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing. The touchdown distance was good at 419 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length.
However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was reported as fast, which may indicate that the pilot could have benefited from a slightly more gradual descent. The touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively hard on the landing gear.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and winds of 8 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,535 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor issue with the aircraft's brakes or a slight deviation in the pilot's rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing. However, there are areas for improvement, including a slightly faster touchdown speed and a more precise runway touchdown position.
