Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,011 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,883 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude began with a distance of 3 nm from the parking area to the runway at KABQ Albuquerque Intl Sunport. The departure took place on runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 5,663 ft, covering 44% of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 124 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 82 °F, with a wind speed of 11 kn coming from 180°.
The enroute climb started 2 miles east of KABQ Albuquerque Intl Sunport, climbing from 6,376 ft to 20,725 ft, covering a distance of 12 nm in 6 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 3 miles east of Bosque Farms and lasted for 57 minutes, covering a distance of 374 nm.
The enroute descent started 21 miles southwest of UT83 Thunder Ridge Airpark Duchesne, descending from 20,723 ft to 12,423 ft, covering a distance of 30 nm in 5 minutes. The second descent started 1 mile southwest of West Point, descending from 12,292 ft to 10,498 ft in 1 minute over a distance of 7 nm.
The next level cruise started 6 miles southwest of Layton and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nm. The subsequent descent started 2 miles west of South Jordan, descending from 10,174 ft to 9,177 ft in 1 minute over a distance of 6 nm.
The final level cruise began overhead Bluffdale and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. The last descent started overhead South Jordan, descending from 9,229 ft to 6,061 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 8 nm.
The landing took place on runway 34R at KSLC Salt Lake City Intl, with a runway length of 12,011 ft. The touchdown speed was 103 kn, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -306 ft/min. The total landing distance was 2,796 ft, covering 23% of the runway.
The distance from the runway to parking was less than 1 nm, with a duration of 3 minutes. The total flight distance covered was 531 nm, taking a total of 123 minutes and using 646 lbs of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 95.9%! Your approach phase was particularly impressive, with excellent glideslope alignment and a speed just slightly above the target. This indicates a high level of precision and attention to detail during the approach to the runway.
In the landing phase, you had a good threshold height but a very poor landing flare. The landing flare is crucial for a smooth touchdown, so focusing on improving this aspect of your technique could further enhance your overall landing performance.
During the touchdown phase, the touchdown rate was a bit hard, but your speed was on target. However, it's worth noting that you touched down 505 ft beyond the touchdown zone and 7 ft from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point. Additionally, landing with a 4 kn tailwind is risky and should be avoided in future landings for safety reasons.
In the rollout phase, your runway alignment was very good, which is crucial for maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing process. Overall, your landing score reflects a high level of skill and proficiency, with room for improvement in certain areas such as the landing flare and touchdown accuracy. Keep up the good work and continue practicing to further refine your landing technique.
