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.

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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,708 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,538 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 35 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 2,100 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 3,140 feet above sea level to 10,394 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,254 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles southwest of Enterprise, Nevada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 8 miles northwest of Jean, Nevada, where it climbed from 10,573 feet above sea level to 16,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,435 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 7 miles southwest of Hidden Hills Airport in Pahrump, Nevada, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 217 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began an enroute descent 8 miles north of Walker Lake, Nevada, where it descended from 15,961 feet above sea level to 11,023 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,938 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles northeast of Yerington Municipal Airport in Yerington, Nevada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent 11 miles southeast of Stagecoach, Nevada, where it descended from 10,993 feet above sea level to 10,032 feet above sea level, a decrease of 962 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 3 miles south of Stagecoach, Nevada, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent 2 miles north of Lakeridge, Nevada, where it descended from 9,291 feet above sea level to 7,868 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,423 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at KTVL Lake Tahoe Airport was made from the north, heading 196.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,545 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 5,708 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 114 knots.
The touchdown point was 708 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 98 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -481 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,971 feet, which accounted for 52
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at KTVL Lake Tahoe Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.9%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 196.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,545 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 114 kt. The touchdown point was located 708 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 98 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase.
The touchdown rate of -481 fpm was considered hard, which may suggest that the aircraft was descending at a relatively steep angle during the final stages of the landing. This could be a result of the pilot's decision to touch down slightly beyond the touchdown zone or an attempt to minimize the landing distance.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. This could be due to various factors, including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 kt from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 kt and a headwind of 0 kt. The total landing distance of 2,971 feet was 52% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path. This could be due to various factors, including the aircraft's braking performance, pilot input, or the runway's surface conditions. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway's end.
