Departure
Hold the nose down a touch longer and let speed build to 82 kt before liftoff.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 70 kt, 12 kt below the 82 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 82 kt at liftoff

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,043 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 166 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Hoogeveen Airfield (EHHO) on runway 27, the Black Square Caravan Professional Cargo Pod N95EJ began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 70 kt in a distance of 349 m, which accounted for 33% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15 °C, with a light wind of 1 kt blowing from the west. The aircraft's performance was unaffected by the minimal crosswind and headwind components.
Following a successful takeoff, the crew initiated a right-hand pattern entry from runway 27, navigating the aircraft through a series of turns and legs to establish a stable approach configuration. The pattern was completed in a timely manner, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and responsiveness throughout. As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 27, it was aligned with the runway heading of 277.0 °, descending from an altitude of 256 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the threshold.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 60 kt and a distance of 165 m, which represented 39% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was a respectable -111 fpm, and the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The total landing distance was 411 m, and the aircraft consumed 98 kg of fuel during the flight, which covered a total distance of 5 nm and lasted approximately 4 minutes.
The aircraft, Black Square Caravan Professional Cargo Pod N95EJ, successfully completed a landing on runway 27 at EHHO Hoogeveen Airfield. The approach from the east, heading 277.0° at 1 nm and 256 ft above ground level, was characterized by good quality, with the pilot maintaining a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 66 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 165 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 60 kt was also within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -111 fpm was smooth, indicating a well-controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centreline, which may require some adjustment in the pilot's approach technique. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 216°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 411 m, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and aligned path along the runway. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot demonstrated good control and technique, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
