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 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Innsbruck Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 863 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 124 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Innsbruck, with the aircraft ascending from 2,895 feet above sea level to 33,496 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,602 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of Sankt Veit im Pongau, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 1 mile east of Wagrain, descending from 33,789 feet above sea level to 7,759 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,030 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south east of Sankt Oswald bei Plankenwarth, lasting 3 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles north west of Frohnleiten, descending from 7,753 feet above sea level to 2,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,446 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16C at Graz Airport took place from the north, with the aircraft heading 170.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,200 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16C, which had a length of 2,739 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 95 knots, while the touchdown distance was good at 287 meters. The touchdown speed was 88 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and winds of 1 knot at 208 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 889 meters, accounting for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 198 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes, and the aircraft used 386 kilograms of fuel.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at LOWG Graz Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 16C was initiated from the north, heading 170.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,200 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 95 knots, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 287 meters was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown speed of 88 knots was slightly lower than the target, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm). A fair touchdown rate suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's approach or a slight wind effect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 208°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and unlikely to have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 889 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance and indicates a good landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
