Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 4.2°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections to track a point at the far end of the runway and close the offset before touchdown.
What happened: You touched down with the centreline offset by 5.7 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline alignment, keeping offset inside the limit.
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 56 kt with 6.1° of pitch.
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 takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 55 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 297 m of runway left.
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.
Plan view the roll down the 1,093 m runway.
Rolled from 466 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 5.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.7 m right. Airborne 44 % 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.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
High from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 0.2 nm (up to 570 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.
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.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 4× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 0.9 nm, then drifted 45 m left between 0.9 and 0.5 nm, then inside the band from 0.5 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.
The rest of the report
The Robin DR400 taxied to runway 30 at LFLI Annemasse Airfield and departed from that runway. Take-off used 492 m, which is 45 % of the runway, and liftoff occurred at 56 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 8 °C, wind 14 kt from 021°, giving a 14 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 400 ft agl took 9 seconds, averaging 311 fpm, and the aircraft reached 70 kt at the top of that segment. The climb continued from 1,391 ft asl to 2,599 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 2 nm, passing overhead Ville-la-Grand.
The aircraft then levelled at 2,600 ft asl for 6 minutes, covering 7 nm and passing overhead Annemasse.
During final approach to runway 30 at LFLI Annemasse Airfield, descent was from 793 ft agl to -212 ft agl in 70 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on speed, wings level - all met; on glideslope and on centreline - not met.
Landing was on runway 30, whose length is 1,093 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 61 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 272 m down the runway at 47 kt with a rate of -67 fpm, both judged good. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline, but there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 355 m, 33 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 10 nm, the flight time 11 minutes, and fuel consumption was 1 kg.
