Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 58 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 47 kt, 11 kt before the 58 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 58 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: seven 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 3.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,786 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 323 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cotswold Airport (EGBP), the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 56 kt within 331 meters, which represented 20% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, with no crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, taking 22 seconds to complete the turn. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which was characterized by a distance of 1 nm and an angle to the runway of 75.7 °. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long and took 70 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was then executed, with a distance of 1 nm and an angle to the runway of 39.8 °. The final approach was made to runway 26 from the east, with a heading of 259.0 ° at an altitude of 241 ft above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed to a high standard, with a touchdown speed of 53 kt and a touchdown distance of 321 m, which was well within the available runway length of 1,618 m. The touchdown rate was also perfect at 4 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The total flight distance was 6 nm, taking approximately 4 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 42 kg of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 26 at EGBP Cotswold Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 259.0° at 0 nm and 241 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 68 kt, which may have been due to the slight headwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 321 m, and the touchdown speed of 53 kt was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of 4 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout. The overall performance of the landing was exceptional, with a final score of 99.0%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and smooth rollout resulted in a highly satisfactory landing.
