No, sweetie, it isn't.

The WHEELS might be moving faster than the belt.

Cessnas lift off at an airspeed around 80 mph, IIRC.

Crank that conveyor belt sumbitch up to 300 mph if you like, the plane will still accelerate to 80 mph and liftoff . . .

TANGENT:
Do they take off at 80 mph? Or is that the recommended landing speed? Now I can't remember . . .
