Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 108 m past the target, landing at 565 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,146 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 565 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Innsbruck Airport's runway 26, the Airbus A320 began its takeoff roll, accelerating down the 1,280-meter asphalt surface to a liftoff speed of 149 knots. The aircraft lifted off at 64% of the runway's length, clearing the surrounding terrain with ease. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Innsbruck, it transitioned into a steady ascent, reaching an altitude of 16,010 feet above sea level in just 6 minutes. The climb phase covered a distance of 31 nautical miles, with the aircraft shedding 13,074 feet of altitude in the process. Following a brief cruise phase at 16,007 feet, the aircraft began its descent, shedding 9,563 feet of altitude in just 5 minutes as it covered 28 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 10 minutes and covering 43 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent towards Friedrichshafen Airport.
The Airbus A320 approached runway 24 at Friedrichshafen Airport from the north-east, aligning itself perfectly with the runway's centerline. The aircraft touched down 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots and a rate of descent of -169 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 130 nautical miles, with the aircraft consuming 1,296 kilograms of fuel in the process. The landing distance of 1,364 meters was 64% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 240.0° from the north east at 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was well-managed at 122 knots, meeting the target requirement. However, the threshold height was slightly above the target at 57 feet above ground level.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots, although this was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a headwind of 9 knots, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component of 4 knots was minimal, allowing the pilot to maintain control throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,364 meters was 64% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
