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 1,750 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 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 34 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 19 at Teterboro Airport (KTEB) and took off with a takeoff distance of 742 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 122 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, with no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Moonachie, New Jersey, and climbed from an altitude of 1,073 feet above sea level to 28,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,920 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southeast of Darien, Connecticut, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 1 mile north of Old Saybrook Center, Connecticut, and descended from 28,989 feet above sea level to 2,861 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,128 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles south of Katama Edgartown Airport (1B2), Massachusetts, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, starting 9 miles south of Chatham, Massachusetts, and descended from 2,885 feet above sea level to 1,584 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,302 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 12 miles northeast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at Nantucket Memorial Airport (KACK) was made from the northeast, heading 225.0°, at an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 412 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 110 knots, and the touchdown rate was -174 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 647 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 214 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -323 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at KACK Nantucket Memorial Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 1,750 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. The threshold speed was maintained at 118 knots, and the touchdown distance was 412 meters, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also satisfactory at 110 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -174 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each. As a result, the total landing distance was 647 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Overall, the Cessna Longitude's performance during this landing was impressive, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and touchdown.
