Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,239 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,239 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 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 to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 546 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 132 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of -2°C and a wind of 6 knots at 70°. The crosswind was negligible, but the aircraft benefited from a 6-knot headwind. The enroute climb started overhead Frankfurt Airport, where the aircraft was initially at an altitude of 1,376 feet above sea level. It then climbed to a maximum altitude of 41,488 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,112 feet, in just 15 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of Forbach, Germany. This phase lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 220 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, France. It descended from an altitude of 41,983 feet above sea level to 10,928 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,055 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Eyragues, France. This phase lasted for just 4 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once again, starting 1 mile southeast of Cornillon-Confoux, France. It descended from an altitude of 10,290 feet above sea level to 4,655 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,635 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered yet another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Roquefort-la-Bedoule, France. This phase lasted for just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile east of Cuges-les-Pins, France. It descended from an altitude of 4,478 feet above sea level to 1,825 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,652 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Le Castellet Airport (LFMQ) was made from the southeast, with a heading of 307.0° at 1 nautical mile and 436 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots and a touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 321 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7°C and a wind of 4 knots at 3°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 945 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 467 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,117 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at LFMQ Le Castellet Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 307.0° at 1 nautical mile and 436 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 7°C, with a gentle wind of 4 knots at 3°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 112 knots was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots and a touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 321 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique.
The total landing distance of 945 meters was 76% 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 of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing.
