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 899 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 899 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 292 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, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 29 at FMNC Mananara Nord Airport in the Analanjirofo Region of Madagascar.
As the aircraft lifted off, it reached a liftoff speed of 65 knots. The takeoff distance was 401 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
Following takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead FMNC Mananara Nord Airport. The climb took 4 minutes to reach an altitude of 2,301 feet above sea level, representing an increase of 1,883 feet from the initial altitude of 418 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 4 miles southeast of FMNC Mananara Nord Airport and lasted for 8 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile north of FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport in the Analanjirofo Region of Madagascar. The descent took 2 minutes to reduce the altitude from 2,028 feet to 621 feet, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed overhead FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 25 at FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 237.0 degrees at an altitude of 210 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 290 meters. The touchdown speed was 48 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 520 meters, accounting for 58% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. The total flight distance was 41 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 14 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with the runway 25 threshold at a heading of 237.0° and an altitude of 210 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 57 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 290 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.
The touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a consistent and accurate approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 520 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's direction and speed after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
