Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,936 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 44 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 19 at LEVX Vigo Airport. The takeoff distance was 344 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 63 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind or headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LEVX Vigo Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,635 feet above sea level to 4,152 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,518 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northeast of Redondela, lasting for 21 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at LEST Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,046 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 41 meters, which was 15% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 52 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind or headwind. The total landing distance was 431 meters, and the total flight distance was 43 nautical miles, taking a total of 34 minutes and using 12 kilograms of fuel. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LEST Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,046 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 52 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 41 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed and rate were also within acceptable limits, with a speed of 52 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -312 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 431 meters was only 15% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to land efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
