Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 13 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 67 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 49 kt against a target of 67 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 67 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.

Side view — the last 1,141 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,141 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 55 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 EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 32, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 86 knots. The takeoff distance of 455 meters accounted for 47% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
Following a right-hand pattern entry from runway 32, the aircraft proceeded to complete a series of turns and legs, including a downwind turn at an angle of 49.4° to the runway, a base leg turn at 58.7°, and a final turn before lining up for a go-around on runway 14. The go-around was initiated at 7 feet above ground level. Subsequently, the aircraft re-established its approach to runway 14 from the northwest, descending to 87 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 48 knots and a touchdown distance of 55 meters, representing a good performance. The touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute was also excellent.
The aircraft landed on the runway with a slight misalignment of 3.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 309 meters accounted for 32% of the runway length. Runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance of 9 nautical miles was achieved in 6 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 20°C and a moderate wind of 3 knots from 224°, resulting in a crosswind component of 3 knots.
The final approach to runway 14 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome from the north west was executed with a heading of 139.0° at 0 nm and 87 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a good quality profile that set it up well for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 50 kt was well below the target, indicating a high degree of control and a low risk of stalling.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it performed well, with a touchdown distance of 55 m and a touchdown speed of 48 kt. The touchdown rate of -88 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a slight drift during the final stages of the landing. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 224°, were generally favourable.
The total landing distance of 309 m was 32% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the aircraft's performance and control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 94.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
