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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,388 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 06 at Jehonville Air Base (EBBX), with a takeoff distance of 477 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 63 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 95 degrees.
As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 06, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind from the same runway took 73 seconds to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 4 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 90.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds.
The pattern base leg turn required a distance of 5 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 94.8 degrees. The base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 11 seconds. The final turn, which was also a right-hand turn, covered a distance of 5 nautical miles in 329 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 from the southwest, heading at 57.0 degrees and at an altitude of 103 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 was successful, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 65 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 371 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 52 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.2 meters. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 92 degrees.
The total landing distance was 548 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 1 minute to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, taking 13 minutes, and the aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EBBX Jehonville Air Base, achieving a score of 97.6%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 57.0° at 0 nm and 103 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 06, which has a length of 2,388 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 65 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 371 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 92°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The total landing distance of 548 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop in a straight line and did not deviate significantly from the centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision.
