Fixing the bounce
Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

The approach before the go-around was abandoned. Its marks are shown, but only the approach that landed counts.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 46 kt with 4.8° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 74 kt, 12 kt under its 86 kt target.
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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 583 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 275 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,210 fpm on average to 583 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 580 m runway.
Rolled from 44 m in, drifted 3.6 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 16 % 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.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Perfect landing flare
From 36 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 3 s, an average deceleration of 0.19 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.
Side view — the last 580 m of the approach.
Began the flare at 22 ft, 99 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 7 ft, 43 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 157 m in, 148 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 580 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 330 fpm at the flare to 10 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.8° on the way down.
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 580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2.3 m left of the centreline.
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 157 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.43 G arrival bounced 5 times.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EHOP Middenmeer Aerodrome took approximately 2 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 23, utilizing 24% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff. The takeoff distance was 137 meters, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 47 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible headwind or crosswind component.
Following a brief enroute climb from 594 feet above sea level to 749 feet, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 749 feet for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Subsequent enroute climbs and descents were conducted, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 696 feet during the second climb phase. The descent phase, initiated 1 mile east of Middenmeer, resulted in a decrease of 498 feet in altitude over a 2-minute period, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final enroute cruise phase, conducted at an altitude of 204 feet, lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 12 minutes. Fuel consumption during the flight was 39 kilograms. The flight operations were conducted within a relatively small area, with the majority of the flight taking place over the Provincie Noord-Holland region in the Netherlands.
