Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 63 kt over the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 51 kt against a target of 63 kt, and touchdown came in hard at 1.1 g. Crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 63 kt at the threshold
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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: centreline 2.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 628 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 628 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 17 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.84 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 172 departed from runway 24 at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield. Takeoff used 521 m of runway, 83 % of the available length. Rotation occurred at 57 kt. Local weather at departure was 14 °C with wind 2 kt from 360°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 44 seconds, averaging 863 fpm and reaching 72 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then levelled at 1 000 ft asl for 4 minutes, covering 6 nm while positioned about 1 mile west of Hamm.
Descent for the final approach began at 644 ft agl and continued to 28 ft agl in 115 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed and wings level; the centreline check was not met.
The aircraft landed on runway 24 at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield, whose length is 628 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 51 kt. The flare was described as very good, with the pitch being pumped up and down during the flare. Touchdown occurred 17 m from the threshold at 49 kt with a descent rate of minus 154 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was perfect and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 130 m, 21 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Local weather at landing was 12 °C with wind 5 kt from 192°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. The total flight covered 9 nm in 7 minutes and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
