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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,728 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,728 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 753 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the PC-24 Air Ambulance taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSTZ Zweisimmen Airfield, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 17, with a takeoff distance of 644 meters, which was 132% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 114 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 188 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Sankt Stephan in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,266 feet above sea level to 42,545 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,279 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of San Pellegrino Terme in Lombardia, Italy. This phase of the flight lasted 17 minutes and covered a distance of 377 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles south west of Neum in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 42,404 feet above sea level to 6,724 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,681 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 14 miles south west of Petrovac na Moru in Budva, Montenegro. This phase of the flight lasted only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 8 miles south of Petrovac na Moru. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,130 feet above sea level to 320 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,810 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at LYTV Tivat Airport was made from the south east, with a heading of 320.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 298 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32, which had a length of 2,495 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 118 knots. The touchdown point was 418 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -84 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 156 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,728 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.6 meters.
The flight then ended with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 586 nautical miles, and the flight took 61 minutes. The aircraft used 1,073 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at LYTV Tivat Airport, achieving a score of 91.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 320.0° at 1 nm and 298 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height and speed, touching down at 118 kn, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 418 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 102 kn, which is also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -84 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11 °C and a wind speed of 5 kn at 156°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kn, while the tailwind component was 4 kn. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, but the pilot still needed to compensate for the wind to maintain control of the aircraft.
The total landing distance was 1,728 m, which is 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-centre.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position and rollout alignment. The pilot's skills and experience were likely key factors in achieving a score of 91.0%, despite the challenges posed by the wind and the aircraft's performance.
