Improve the takeoff
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: five 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado PA44, was then cleared for departure from runway 09 at LTBY Anadolu Airport. The takeoff distance was 353 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 79 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 99 degrees.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile east of LTBY Anadolu Airport and climbed from an altitude of 3,461 feet above sea level to 3,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 536 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead the airport, where the aircraft descended from 4,000 feet above sea level to 2,685 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,315 feet in 2 minutes, also covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at LTBY Anadolu Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 96.0 degrees at an altitude of 96 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 59 knots and a touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 100 degrees.
The total landing distance was 828 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Carenado PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at LTBY Anadolu Airport, navigating a final approach to runway 09 from the west. The aircraft's heading was 96.0° at an altitude of 96 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot executed a smooth touchdown, achieving a threshold speed of 70 knots, which is considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 59 knots. This speed is also considered good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -134 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable outcome for a safe landing.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 4.2 meters off-center. This minor misalignment may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which likely contributed to the smooth landing. The total landing distance was 828 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a well-controlled approach and touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with a high score of 97.3%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the landing, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
