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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,807 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 709 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, then departed from runway 10R at the Monterey Peninsula Airport (KMRY). The takeoff distance was 1,466 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 71 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 89°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 10R, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds.
The pilot continued with the left-hand pattern, completing the crosswind turn in 31 seconds and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 83.1° to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 93 seconds.
The pilot then initiated the base leg turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 31.2° to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in 25 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn was made in 31 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 10R was made from the west, with a heading of 113.0° and an altitude of 542 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was completed on the runway, which had a length of 6,807 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 70 knots.
The touchdown distance was 704 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at -22 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 89°.
The total landing distance was 1,334 feet, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the pilot then taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight used 5 pounds of fuel.
The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at KMRY Monterey Peninsula Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 10R was initiated from the west, with a heading of 113.0° at 1 nautical mile and 542 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision throughout the approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 62 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 704 feet was well within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -22 fpm was also perfect, signifying a gentle and stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 89°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,334 feet was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's excellent control and coordination during the landing phase.
Overall, the PA28 Warrior II aircraft performed exceptionally well during the landing at KMRY Monterey Peninsula Airport, showcasing the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating challenging weather conditions and achieving a perfect score.
