What went well

Touchdown 298 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 44 ft and 42 kt — both inside band
Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — bank angle up to 11.4 ° at 0 %, Alignment max 23.98 m right at 24 %, −5.65 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 121.15 m right at 0 %, Takeoff Bounce at 60 %, −4.69 points
Departure Climb 1 — Heading variation 7.3 ° at 21 %, −3.29 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold centreline within 121 m.

What happened: You drifted off the runway centreline during the ground roll, deviating 121 m, and that same drift carried into the climb as a heading deviation of 7.3°. Centreline control issues on the roll usually carry forward into the initial climb heading.

Watch for: Watch the heading indicator, holding runway heading within 7.3° during the initial climb.

Arrival

Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.

What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 1.7° on short final.

Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Landing Summary

The Savage Cub conducted the final approach to Lackerman Ranch Airport from 1 nm to 1 nm, maintaining an altitude of 92 ft AGL throughout the segment. Local weather was 6 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 181°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind.

During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft descended from 45 ft AGL to 0 ft AGL, a decrease of 45 ft achieved in 12 seconds.

Touchdown occurred at a speed of 37 kt, noted as a little fast, with an excellent vertical rate of -63 fpm and a good touchdown point of 294 m down the runway.

The 83.8 % score reflects a solid performance; reducing the touchdown speed slightly will bring the aircraft closer to the optimal VREF while preserving the excellent flare and touchdown point already demonstrated.
