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 596 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 596 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 220 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 27 at KCYS Cheyenne Regional Jerry Olson Field. The takeoff distance was 489 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 27 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 27 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead KCYS Cheyenne Regional Jerry Olson Field, ascending from 6,440 feet above sea level to 7,517 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,077 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 7,924 feet above sea level to 8,661 feet above sea level, an increase of 737 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb took place 4 miles southeast of WY46 Radio Ranch Airport.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. This phase began 4 miles northeast of 47CO Mile Hi Airport in New Raymer, Colorado. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles northwest of 22CO Flying E Airport in Brighton, Colorado. The descent took place from 8,663 feet above sea level to 6,553 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,111 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles west of CD14 J. The final approach to runway 27 at 9CO2 Van Slyke Field was made from the east, with a heading of 279.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 345 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at 9CO2 Van Slyke Field was successful, with a runway length of 596 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 62 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 219 meters, and the touchdown speed was 50 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The total landing distance was 382 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 93 nautical miles and took 58 minutes to complete, using 23 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Van Slyke Field, with a score of 92.9%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 279.0° at 2 nautical miles and 345 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway, and the touchdown was smooth.
The pilot achieved a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 62 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 219 meters was also good, and the touchdown speed of 50 knots was within the acceptable range.
The landing rate was excellent, with a rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 382 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. The score of 92.9% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilot.
