Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to accelerate back to climb speed.
What happened: Climb speed was slower than the target during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against climb speed target.
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: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.

Side view — the last 992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 90 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 35 at NV47 Palomino Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 165 m, representing 22 % of the available runway, with liftoff attained at 47 kt. Ambient conditions were 7 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 181°, no cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind.
Climb began overhead 77NV Flying Eagle Airport Reno, where the airplane rose from 5,080 ft asl to 6,777 ft asl, a gain of 1,696 ft in 4 minutes while covering 5 nm.
The first level cruise segment started 3 nm north-west of NV23 Air Sailing Gliderport Sparks and was maintained for 5 minutes, during which 7 nm were traversed.
Descent commenced 10 nm north-west of the same gliderport, with the aircraft descending from 6,779 ft asl to 6,252 ft asl, a loss of 527 ft in 2 minutes while covering 2 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 8 nm south-east of Doyle, California, lasting 8 minutes and encompassing 12 nm of flight.
The next descent began 3 nm south of Herlong, California, where altitude fell from 6,110 ft asl to 4,798 ft asl, a reduction of 1,312 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 4 nm.
Final approach to runway 24 at H37 Herlong was executed from the east, on a heading of 258.0° at 1 nm and 737 ft agl.
Landing was made on runway 24, whose length is 992 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 40 kt, while touchdown occurred 87 m down the runway at 36 kt, a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at minus 138 fpm and runway alignment was very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 7 °C, wind 2 kt from 181°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind. Total landing distance measured 190 m, equivalent to 19 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, confirming a straight and centered exit from the runway.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 33 nm, required 23 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 24 at H37 Herlong was flown from the east on a heading of 258.0° at one nautical mile and 737 ft agl.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 40 kt, a little below the target.
Touchdown occurred 87 m down the runway, with a speed of 36 kt that was a little fast and a smooth vertical rate of minus 138 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance was 190 m, representing 19 % of the 992-m runway. Ambient conditions were 7 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 181°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.
Rollout alignment was perfect.
To tighten the already strong performance, aim to achieve the target threshold speed and modestly reduce touchdown speed to better match the desired profile.
