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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,114 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 07 at EGNT Newcastle Airport, where the AA-5B aircraft, registered as N28672, successfully took off. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 91 meters, which accounted for only 4% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 81 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the northwest. The aircraft's climb started overhead Dinnington, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, where it ascended from an altitude of 475 feet above sea level to 369 feet, an increase of 106 feet in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 07 at EGNT Newcastle Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 67.0 degrees and at an altitude of 119 feet above ground level. The approach was made at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 07 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 47 knots. The touchdown distance was good, requiring only 474 meters to come to a stop. The touchdown rate was perfect, with a rate of -44 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 731 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft came to a stop in a straight line. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the northwest.
The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -5 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a successful and controlled operation, with the aircraft performing well in the given weather conditions.
The aircraft, AA-5B with registration number N28672, successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport on runway 07. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, aligning with a heading of 67.0° at an altitude of 119 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot executed a precise touchdown, achieving a speed of 47 knots at the moment of touchdown. This speed was well within the threshold speed of 72 knots, indicating a controlled and stable approach. The touchdown distance of 474 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
The landing rate of -44 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, signifying 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 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 731 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.5%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-suited to the local weather conditions, making for a safe and successful landing.
