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 1,000 ft and 500 ft 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 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, where the PA44 Seminole aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 455 meters, which is 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 75 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 49 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Sandweiler, Luxembourg, where it ascended from an altitude of 2,219 feet above sea level to 4,042 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,823 feet in just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Senningen, Luxembourg, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 3,850 feet above sea level to 3,164 feet above sea level, a decrease of 685 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again overhead Olm, Luxembourg, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 59.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which is 12% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 79 knots, which is slightly faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate was perfect at 89 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 50 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 481 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 21 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -137 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PA44 Seminole aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,225 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. However, the threshold speed was above the target, coming in at 89 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 315 meters, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 3,989 meters.
The touchdown speed of 79 knots was slightly faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of 89 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 481 meters was only 12% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.8%.
