Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 24 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 5.4° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,695 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to runway 06 at EDLW Dortmund Airport, a movement that lasted 7 minutes and covered 3 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 06. The aircraft used 283 m of runway, which was 17 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 73 kt. Local weather at departure was 6 °C with wind 3 kt from 070°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 36 seconds, averaging 1 087 fpm and reaching 76 kt at the top of the climb. The subsequent climb from 969 ft asl to 1 934 ft asl was completed in 2 minutes while covering 2 nm, remaining overhead the Dortmund area.
Cruise was maintained at 1 900 ft asl for 28 minutes, covering 48 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-west of EDLW Dortmund Airport.
Descent began from 2 196 ft asl to 948 ft asl over 6 minutes, covering 8 nm, starting 2 miles south of Duisburg. An approach to runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport was attempted, but a go-around was executed at 523 ft agl.
On the subsequent final approach to runway 05R, descent continued from 1 299 ft agl to 84 ft agl in 152 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on centreline, on speed, wings level - all met; glideslope was not met.
Landing was made on runway 05R, whose length is 2 695 m. The threshold height at 86 ft agl was significantly above target, while the threshold speed was good at 68 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold high and executed an excellent flare. Touchdown occurred 415 m from the threshold at 52 kt, with a smooth rate of -102 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 3.7 m, and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 918 m, representing 34 % of the runway, and the rollout left the aircraft misaligned by 24.5 m from the centreline.
After landing, taxiing to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 69 nm in 50 minutes and consumed 19 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 8 °C with wind 2 kt from 070°, giving a 0 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
