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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 900 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 900 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 151 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 Sabadell Airfield, located at LELL, took approximately 2 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 152, then began its departure roll on runway 13, utilizing 34% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff. The takeoff distance was 304 meters, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 56 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Barbera del Valles in the Catalunya region of Spain. The climb phase involved a vertical ascent of 202 feet, from an initial altitude of 960 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 1,162 feet. This climb was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach phase began as the aircraft descended from the northwest, heading towards runway 13 at Sabadell Airfield. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 38 knots, with a touchdown distance of 149 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 260 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway length. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 5 nautical miles and lasted for 5 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The pilot maintained a steady heading of 127.0° and descended from an altitude of 155 feet above ground level (agl) to a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below the target, registering at 47 knots, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 149 meters and a speed of 38 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute (fpm) was somewhat higher than desired, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and controlled, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 260 meters, which accounted for only 29% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and precision. Overall, the landing was considered highly satisfactory, with a final score of 99.5%.
