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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,272 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,272 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 303 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question took off from runway 19 at Lugano Airport (LSZA) in Lugano, Switzerland. The taxiing process from the parking to the runway took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Upon departure, the aircraft used 587 meters of runway, which accounted for 57% of the total length of the runway. The aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 135 knots.
Following the takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting from an elevation of 1,908 feet above sea level (asl) and eventually reaching a height of 44,839 ft asl. This climb took 18 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The climb began overhead Agno (Ticino, Switzerland), and along the way, the aircraft encountered a temperature of 19 °C, with winds of 5 knots at 159 degrees.
Upon reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered into enroute level cruise mode, lasting for 27 minutes as it covered 204 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place overhead Bozel (Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France).
As the aircraft continued on its journey, it started its enroute descent, commencing from a height of 44,725 ft asl and eventually descending to an elevation of 8,661 ft asl. This descent took 21 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles, and started 2 miles north of Bize-Minervois (Occitanie, France).
Further along the route, the aircraft entered into another level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes as it covered 11 nautical miles. This phase occurred 3 miles east of Gualter (Catalunya, Spain).
Next, the aircraft entered its final descent phase, which started 3 miles north of Peramola (Catalunya, Spain) from a height of 7,953 ft asl to an elevation of 4,024 ft asl. This descent took 7 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the desired altitudes, the aircraft entered into a short level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes as it covered 2 nautical miles. This phase occurred 1 mile south east of LESU Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgel Airport La Seu d'Urgell Pyrenees and Andorra (Catalunya, Spain).
The final approach to runway 21 at LESU Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgel Airport was from the north east with a heading of 210.0° at 1 nautical mile and 396 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 21 took place using a threshold speed of 105 knots, which was slightly below the target speed. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 97 knots with a touch down distance of 304 meters and a touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline.
Following the landing, taxiing to the parking took less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Taking into account the numerous stops along the way, the total flight distance was 445 nautical miles, using 1 hour and 26 minutes to complete and 1,218 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 safely landed at LESU Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgel Airport with a score of 96.3%. The pilot expertly navigated a final approach to runway 21, coming in from the north east heading 210.0° at 1 nautical mile and 396 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady trajectory before touching down on the runway, demonstrating smooth control and coordination.
As the aircraft landed, it achieved a good threshold height and landed with a slightly below target threshold speed of 105 kt. This suggests a controlled descent and effective management of airspeed before touchdown. The touchdown distance was also considered good at 304 meters, indicating a well-executed landing that allowed the aircraft to come to rest within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Notably, the touchdown speed of 97 kt was found to be within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed. However, the touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could potentially work on improving the rate of descent in future landings to achieve a more optimal touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was highly commended as 'very good', indicating that the pilot had precision control over the aircraft's orientation as it touched down. Additionally, the local weather conditions - a temperature of 18°C and a moderate wind of 12 kt at 220° - presented a slight headwind but did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 600 meters, or 47% of the runway, was generally satisfactory. However, the runway rollout alignment was noted to be slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may be attributed to factors such as crosswind or pilot error, and could be addressed through further training or adjustments in aircraft handling. Overall, the safe and controlled landing achieved by Aircraft C750 at LESU Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgel Airport demonstrates the pilot's competence and proficiency in landing operations.
