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: 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,398 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,398 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 245 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 29 at NTTB Bora Bora Airport. The takeoff distance was 221 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with no wind at 2°. The aircraft climbed from 1,000 feet above sea level to 5,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,006 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. This enroute climb started 4 miles northwest of NTTB Bora Bora Airport, near Motu Mute in the Iles Sous-le-Vent, French Polynesia.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 2 miles south of Vaitape in the Iles Sous-le-Vent, French Polynesia. The aircraft then began its descent from 4,975 feet above sea level to 4,295 feet above sea level, a decrease of 681 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. This descent started 4 miles south of Vaitape.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 8 miles south of Vaitape. The aircraft then began its descent from 4,163 feet above sea level to 1,329 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,834 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. This descent started 10 miles west of NTTR Raiatea Airport Uturoa in the Iles Sous-le-Vent, French Polynesia.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 6 miles west of NTTR Raiatea Airport Uturoa. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07 at NTTR Raiatea Airport from the west, heading 83.0° at 4 nautical miles and 782 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 at NTTR Raiatea Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 241 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 65 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15°C and no wind.
The total landing distance was 641 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 36 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used 11 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at NTTR Raiatea Airport, achieving a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 782 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for runway 07, which has a length of 1,398 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 65 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare slightly earlier than expected. The touchdown distance of 241 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly.
The touchdown speed of 59 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly harder than intended. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -111 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant shock or jolt.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 1°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 641 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to brake slightly earlier than expected or the aircraft's tendency to drift slightly off-center.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance. The score of 97.9% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot and the aircraft's performance during the landing.
