Flight Score
Departure
Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.
What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading
Arrival
Hold a little more back pressure through the last of the flare to arrest the sink before 250 fpm develops.
What happened: Touchdown sink rate was 250 fpm, a firm arrival with no other fault on this landing to account for it.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: minimal sink at touchdown
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 roll
The nose wandered in the climb
From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 2.5° and 11.0°, and the speed between 82 kt and 106 kt.
Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 582 m runway.
Rolled from 55 m in, never more than 0.7 m off the centreline. Airborne 65 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 805 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft at the runway end; gear up at 53 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 950 fpm on average to 805 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, centreline more than 1° off and speed more than 34 kt above the approach speed of 67 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 20 kt above the approach speed of 67 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.2 to 1.6 nm, then not again: fast from 1.6 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 410 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 392 m right of the centreline, then inside the band from 2.8 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 4 nm to 2.2 nm (up to +44 kt), then inside the band to 1.6 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +24 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Perfect landing flare
Touchdown
Rollout
Side view — the last 721 m of the approach.
Began the flare at 28 ft, 90 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 14 ft, 36 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 170 m in, 135 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 721 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 460 fpm at the flare to 250 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° on the way down. Into the flare at 82 kt, 15 kt over the 67 kt approach speed, and 68 kt at touchdown.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 721 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3.2 m left of the centreline and drifted to 12 m right on the rollout. Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
The 170 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 250 fpm arrival was firm.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 66 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 15 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
The rest of the report
The Commander 114 taxied from the parking area to the runway in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Take-off was from runway 25 at LKBZ Bezdružice Airstrip. The aircraft used 393 m of runway, which is 68 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 65 kt. Local weather was 1 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 075°, a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
During the initial climb the aircraft reached 1 000 ft agl in 48 seconds, averaging 898 fpm and attaining 106 kt at the top of the climb.
The climb continued from 2 804 ft asl to 5 739 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering 6 nm and beginning 1 mile north-west of Kokasice.
Cruise was level at 6 000 ft asl for 60 minutes, covering 148 nm and beginning 2 miles south-west of Tepla.
Descent began at 5 994 ft asl and proceeded to 1 364 ft asl in 13 minutes, covering 28 nm, starting 1 mile north-east of Waldaschaff.
Final approach to runway 19R at EDUD Reinheim Airfield descended from 915 ft agl to 15 ft agl in 156 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1 000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for landing flap, sink rate, glideslope and wings level; they were not met for gear down (at one gate), centreline (at one gate) and speed. The landing gear was lowered at 710 ft agl when the aircraft was 109 kt. The final flap position 3 was selected at 645 ft agl when the speed was 100 kt.
Landing on runway 19R, which is 721 m long, occurred with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was 80 kt, noted as well above target. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 169 m down the runway at 68 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 251 fpm. The touchdown point was 3.8 m off the centreline but the rollout alignment was perfect. No bounce was observed.
The total landing roll was 521 m, representing 72 % of the runway.
Local weather at landing was 4 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 201°, a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt.
Overall, the flight covered 187 nm in 81 minutes and consumed 40 kg of fuel.
