Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 71 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 58 kt against a target of 71 kt, running 13 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 71 kt.
Arrival
Select landing flap before the stabilisation gate rather than carrying it in late.
What happened: Landing flap was not set at the stabilisation gate on approach.
Watch for: Watch the flap indicator against the landing flap position before the gate.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: no landing flap set and centreline 3.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,775 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Savage Cub taxied to runway 07 at O77 Schurtz Airport and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 149 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and lifted off at 46 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 6 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 182°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
During the climb the airplane departed the vicinity of O77 Schurtz Airport, California (Nevada, United States) and rose from 4 884 ft asl to 6 011 ft asl. The altitude gain of 1 128 ft was achieved in 2 minutes while covering 3 nm.
Level cruise began approximately 1 mile north-west of Schurz (Nevada, United States) and was maintained for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 20 nm.
The final approach was executed to runway 20 at O43 Yerington Mun, arriving from the north-east on a heading of 208.0° at 1 nm and 479 ft agl.
Landing was performed on runway 20 at O43 Yerington Mun, whose length is 1 775 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 43 kt. Touchdown occurred 336 m down the runway at a speed of 37 kt, with a touchdown rate of -68 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 7 °C, wind 2 kt from 181°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 1 kt. The total landing distance measured 397 m, equivalent to 22 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.
During rollout the aircraft remained on the centreline, decelerated smoothly and exited the runway in accordance with standard procedures.
In total the flight covered 24 nm, required 18 minutes of elapsed time and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 20 at O43 Yerington Municipal was flown from the north-east on a heading of 208.0° at 1 NM and 479 ft AGL.
At threshold the aircraft established a speed slightly below target at 43 kt and the height over the threshold was good.
Touchdown occurred 336 m down the runway; the speed at touchdown was 37 kt, noted as a little fast, while the vertical rate was excellent at minus 68 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total distance of 397 m, representing 22 % of the 1,775 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
To bring the landing closer to the target, adjust the approach to achieve the specified threshold speed and trim the touchdown speed slightly lower, which will further optimise the landing profile.
