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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 551 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FFX P180, then departed from runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, a major airport located in Nice, France. The takeoff distance was 829 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 120 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 4 knots. The enroute climb started over Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport and continued for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 309 meters above sea level to 8,816 meters above sea level.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles. This phase started 16 miles south-east of Le Lavandou, a town located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 22 miles east of Cadaques, a town located in the Catalonia region of Spain. The descent from 8,812 meters above sea level to 8,601 meters above sea level took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. This phase started 19 miles south-east of Cadaques. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started 6 miles east of Tamariu, a town located in the Catalonia region of Spain. The descent from 8,518 meters above sea level to 2,679 meters above sea level took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This phase started 15 miles south-east of Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, a major airport located in Barcelona, Spain. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started 13 miles south of Castelldefels, a town located in the Catalonia region of Spain. The descent from 2,430 meters above sea level to 941 meters above sea level took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This phase started 2 miles south of Vilanova i la Geltru, a town located in the Catalonia region of Spain. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started 1 mile south-east of Sitges, a town located in the Catalonia region of Spain. The descent from 937 meters above sea level to 396 meters above sea level took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was made from the south-west, with a heading of 65.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 389.3 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 06L was successful, with a touchdown point 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 88 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -1.3 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,289 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport on runway 06L. The final approach was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 65.0° at an altitude of 389.3 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway throughout the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected threshold. However, the touchdown speed of 88 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -1.3 m/s was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a slightly more gradual descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 3 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length of 2,914 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,289 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled trajectory after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 96.2%. The only areas for improvement were the slightly below-target threshold speed and the fair touchdown rate.
