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.

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 13 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 13 ft down to touchdown.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 1.0° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,194 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 204 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at O22 Columbia took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 35, utilizing 383 meters, or 29% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 71 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind of 3 knots at 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb phase commenced overhead Columbia, with the aircraft ascending from 3,291 feet above sea level to 5,852 feet, an increase of 2,560 feet, in just 1 minute and covering 2 nautical miles. This was followed by a 5-minute level cruise 3 miles north of Columbia, during which the aircraft covered 12 nautical miles. The climb phase resumed 4 miles south of Mi-Wuk Village, with the aircraft ascending from 6,057 feet to 9,461 feet, an increase of 3,405 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a 9-minute level cruise 6 miles east of Tuolumne City, during which it covered 27 nautical miles. The climb phase continued 2 miles southwest of Yosemite Valley, with the aircraft ascending from 9,992 feet to 12,509 feet, an increase of 2,517 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase began 7 miles northeast of Yosemite Valley and lasted 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 15 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase commenced 4 miles west of O24 Lee Vining, with the aircraft descending from 12,494 feet to 6,891 feet, a decrease of 5,603 feet, in 4 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 15 at O24 Lee Vining, touching down at a speed of 55 knots and a touchdown distance of 201 meters. The total landing distance was 946 meters, or 79% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 84 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 86 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 15 at O24 Lee Vining with a score of 96.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 163.0° at 0 nm and 123 ft above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a good threshold height allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 63 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown distance of 201 m and a touchdown speed of 55 kt. The touchdown rate of -187 fpm was also within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control and coordination during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 946 m was 79% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and efficiently, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
