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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 88 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna 172SP started with a departure roll on runway 04 at LSPU Munster Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,995 ft, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 62 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 59 °F with a wind of 6 kn at 270°, creating a crosswind of 4 kn and a tailwind of 4 kn.
Enroute, the climb began overhead LSMC Ulrichen Ulrichen in Canton du Valais, Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from 5,395 ft asl to 9,575 ft asl, an increase of 4,181 ft in 5 minutes covering 5 nm.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered into a level cruise 2 miles north of Oberwald in Canton du Valais, Switzerland. The cruise lasted 7 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nm.
As the flight continued, the descent started 1 mile northeast of Meiringen in Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The descent took the aircraft from 10,001 ft asl to 6,055 ft asl, a decrease of 3,946 ft in 2 minutes covering 3 nm.
Finally, the landing took place on runway 28 at LSMM Meiringen Mil, which had a runway length of 6,310 ft. The height at the threshold was 19 ft agl, and the speed at the threshold was 51 kn. The touchdown occurred 285 ft from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 47 kn and a vertical speed indicator showing -228 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 60 °F with a wind of 6 kn at 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 6 kn. The total landing distance was 883 ft, which accounted for 14% of the runway.
Overall, the total flight distance covered was 23 nm and took 154 minutes with a fuel consumption of -41 lbs.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 97.1% is quite impressive and indicates a high level of proficiency in various aspects of the landing process. Starting with the Approach Phase, while the descent path was slightly above the glideslope limit, it's important to ensure that the altitude and speed are properly managed to ensure a smooth transition to the Landing Phase. Additionally, the slightly below target speed is not a major concern but can be improved upon for future landings.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that the threshold height was good and the landing flare was executed perfectly. These are critical aspects of the landing process that contribute to a safe and smooth touchdown. In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was fair and the speed was a little above target, the touchdown distance being inside the touchdown zone is a positive sign. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being very good reflects skilled piloting and precision during this phase of the landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being very good indicates excellent control and alignment during the rollout after touchdown. This is important for ensuring the aircraft comes to a complete stop safely on the runway.
Overall, while there were some areas for improvement identified in the Approach and Touchdown Phases, the strong performance in the Landing and Rollout Phases contributed to the high landing score. Continued practice and focus on maintaining proper altitude, speed, and alignment throughout the landing process will help enhance overall proficiency and ensure consistently high landing scores in future flights. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in all phases of the landing procedure!
