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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 221 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an FWB EasyJet, then departed from runway 11 at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport. The takeoff distance was 789 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb from an altitude of 2,190 feet above sea level, and within less than a minute, it had reached an altitude of 3,861 feet, an increase of 1,671 feet. This climb covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent from an altitude of 3,918 feet above sea level to 2,750 feet, a decrease of 1,168 feet. This descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 2 miles north of Hannans.
The final approach to runway 11 at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 106.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,858 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 11, which had a length of 1,996 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 121 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 221 meters, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -453 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a slight tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,026 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 21 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 442 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The FWB EasyJet aircraft successfully landed at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 11 was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,858 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 121 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 221 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing.
However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -453 feet per minute. This may indicate that the aircraft was descending at a relatively steep angle, which could be a concern for the aircraft's safety and the passengers on board. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,026 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively, resulting in a short and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management during the landing phase.
