Flight Score
Departure
Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb
Arrival
Add power on final to cross the threshold at 64 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 7 kt below the 64 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 2.8° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 64 kt at the threshold
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 806 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 806 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 90 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 172 taxied to runway 28 at EDSH Backnang-Heiningen Airfield and commenced the departure roll, achieving a takeoff distance of 300 m (60 % of the runway) with a liftoff speed of 46 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 059°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb began overhead the departure aerodrome, ascending from 911 ft asl to 3 853 ft asl, a gain of 2 942 ft achieved in 6 minutes while covering 11 nm.
The first level-cruise segment started again over EDSH Backnang-Heiningen and lasted less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
A subsequent cruise commenced 1 mile north-west of Alfdorf, persisting for 17 minutes and extending the flight by 39 nm.
Descent commenced 2 miles east of Dillingen an der Donau, dropping from 3 883 ft asl to 3 219 ft asl, a loss of 663 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 3 nm.
The next cruise phase was overhead Binswangen, lasting 15 minutes and adding 31 nm to the route.
A second descent began 1 mile east of Sulzemoos, reducing altitude from 3 642 ft asl to 2 426 ft asl, a decrease of 1 216 ft in 3 minutes while covering 6 nm.
Following that, a cruise segment over EDMD Dachau-Gröbenried Airfield Bergkirchen lasted 3 minutes and contributed 6 nm.
The third descent started 1 mile west of Unterschleissheim, descending from 2 918 ft asl to 1 884 ft asl, a loss of 1 033 ft in 3 minutes across 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 26 at EDNX Schleissheim Airfield involved a descent from 630 ft agl to -196 ft agl in 72 seconds, during which the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 26 was executed with a threshold speed of 57 kt, a touchdown distance of 89 m, touchdown speed of 53 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 184 fpm; the runway length is 806 m and the total landing distance recorded was 790 m (98 % of the runway). Weather at the destination was 13 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 090°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 104 nm, took 55 (units as given) and consumed 31 kg of fuel.
