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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 682 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 682 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 67 m 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 area to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 07 at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield. The takeoff distance was 504 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present. The enroute climb began overhead EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 364 feet above sea level to 924 feet, an increase of 561 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield and lasted for 4 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 252.0° at an altitude of 566 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also good at 59 knots, and the touchdown distance was 64 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was 56 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -220 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the landing phase were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The total landing distance was 330 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -34 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield, achieving a score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 566 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 25.
The runway at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield has a length of 682 meters, and the aircraft touched down with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 59 knots, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach speed. The touchdown distance of 64 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also good.
However, the touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a slightly more gradual descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 330 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had maintained a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
