Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 60 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 71 kt, 11 kt past the 60 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 60 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 2.7° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 1,391 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 95 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The TL-96 Star taxied to runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport and commenced its take-off roll. The aircraft used 225 m of runway, representing 16 % of the available length, and rotated at 71 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a 2 kt wind from 270°, giving a 2 kt head-wind component and zero cross-wind.
During the descent phase the aircraft reduced altitude from 471 ft AGL to 15 ft AGL in 67 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate requirements.
The approach was conducted in a left-hand pattern for runway 27. Entry to the pattern covered less than 1 nm in 22 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind leg of less than 1 nm in 19 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with an angle to the runway’s far end of 71.8°, and the downwind leg extended 2 nm in 70 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 2 nm with a 44.6° angle to the runway, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm in 49 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm in 34 seconds, leading to the final approach.
Landing was executed on runway 27, whose total length is 1 391 m. The threshold speed was recorded as 48 kt and the touchdown occurred 95 m down the runway at a speed of 41 kt, which was noted as fast. The aircraft’s vertical speed at touchdown was minus 20 fpm and the touchdown point was offset 3.3 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment was described as very good, with a total landing distance of 225 m, again representing 16 % of the runway length.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, took 5 (units as given) to complete, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
