Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
After the sink arrests at 18 ft, keep easing the yoke forward to let the aircraft continue settling rather than pausing above the runway.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 18 ft and the aircraft was held level there instead of being let down. Holding off high like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, and here the touchdown rate was 242 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuing descent through the flare all the way to touchdown.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 58 kt with 1.4° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 641 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 851 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,270 fpm on average to 641 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 1,093 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted left of the centreline, 3 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.1 m left. Airborne 2 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
High from 1.5 nm, where the final began, to 1.0 nm (up to 470 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 138 m left of the centreline at 1.5 nm, then inside it from 1.0 to 0.7 nm, then drifted 71 m left between 0.7 and 0.3 nm, then inside the band from 0.3 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
The rest of the report
The Aerotechnik EV97 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at LFLI Annemasse Airfield, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 30. The aircraft rolled for a take-off distance of 47 m, which is 4 % of the runway length. Liftoff occurred at 64 kt. At the time, the local weather was 8 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 026°, giving a 12 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
The initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 27 seconds, averaging 943 fpm and reaching 88 kt at the top of the climb. Afterward the aircraft leveled at 2 600 ft asl for 7 minutes, covering 8 nm and passing overhead Ville-la-Grand.
Descent for the final approach to runway 30 began at 960 ft agl and continued to 16 ft agl in 111 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down, landing flap, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level - all met; sink rate was not met.
The aircraft landed on runway 30, whose length is 1 093 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 49 kt, described as good. The flare was poor; it was held off too high. Touchdown occurred 113 m down the runway at 44 kt, a good speed, with a touchdown rate of minus 242 fpm, rated fair. Alignment at touchdown was perfect and no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 264 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the EV97 taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 12 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The entire flight covered 13 nm, lasted 31 minutes and used 2 kg of fuel.
