Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 261 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Eviation Alice Luxury Livery 5 taking off from runway 35L at LGKL Kalamata Airport. The aircraft rolled down the runway for 557 meters, which was 21% of the runway's length, before lifting off into the air at a speed of 129 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 318 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kalamata Airport, it began its enroute climb, rising from an initial altitude of 426 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 11,770 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 33 nautical miles, took 8 minutes to complete and resulted in an increase in altitude of 11,345 feet. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, during which it remained at a constant altitude for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles south of Achladokampos, and descended from 11,768 feet above sea level to 5,837 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,931 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time starting 7 miles northwest of Kranidi, and remained at a constant altitude for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 5 miles north of Kranidi, and descended from 5,851 feet above sea level to 3,269 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,582 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off once more, this time starting 3 miles southwest of Methana, and remained at a constant altitude for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final descent began 2 miles south of Vouliagmeni, and the aircraft descended from 3,094 feet above sea level to 1,530 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,564 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 37.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 03R, which was 3,403 meters long, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots, and the touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 86 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 259 meters, but the touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 459 meters, which was 13% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 107 nautical miles, and the flight took 29 minutes to complete, using 0 kilograms of fuel.
The Eviation Alice, a luxury aircraft, successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) on runway 03R. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway that measures 3,403 meters in length, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to slow down the aircraft more efficiently before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 259 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the start of the runway.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 86 knots was excessively fast, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially increased the risk of damage. The touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
One notable issue with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 8.4 meters. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions, pilot error, or issues with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C and no wind.
The total landing distance of 459 meters was 13% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and improving the alignment of the aircraft during the landing roll.
