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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 802 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 802 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 189 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at LZJS Jasná Airfield, a Cessna 152 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 386 meters, which was 70% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 58 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it reached an altitude of 7,216 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,724 feet from the initial 2,491 feet. This climb took place over a distance of 8 nautical miles and was completed in 8 minutes. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 4 miles southwest of Demaenovska Dolina, and descended from 7,166 feet to 4,134 feet, a decrease of 3,032 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile southwest of Brezno, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, starting 6 miles east of Hrinova, and descended from 4,200 feet to 2,549 feet, a decrease of 1,651 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles northwest of Poltar, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 13 at LZLU Lučenec Airfield, coming in from the northwest at a heading of 128.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 187 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 27 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the departure, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 44 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at LZLU Lučenec Airfield, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 128.0° at 1 nautical mile and 535 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course, with a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon reaching the threshold speed of 44 knots, the pilot was advised to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was well below the target. However, the pilot successfully managed to maintain control and execute a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 187 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 27 knots was also satisfactory.
The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of a controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach and landing technique.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which made the landing even smoother. The total landing distance of 385 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing a safe and controlled touchdown.
