Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Use aileron to level the wings and hold the upwind wing low only enough to track the centreline before touchdown.
What happened: At touchdown the wings were not level, with an average bank angle of 4.8°.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and keep wings level through touchdown.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 6.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 735 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 735 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 105 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, covering 2 nm in 9 minutes.
During the take-off roll on runway 13L, the Cessila 208B accelerated over 1,151 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and lifted off at 104 kt. Local conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 109°, providing a 7 kt headwind and a 4 kt cross-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Lohmar, rising from 1,224 ft asl to 8,632 ft asl - a gain of 7,408 ft - in 10 minutes while covering 22 nm.
The first cruise segment began over Birkenbeul, lasting 50 minutes and extending 133 nm.
Descent started 1 mile north-east of Leutenbach, descending from 8,786 ft asl to 4,499 ft asl - a loss of 4,287 ft - in 5 minutes and traversing 12 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 1 mile north-west of Wangen, lasting 8 minutes and covering 18 nm.
Final approach to runway 25 at EDPJ Laichingen Jakob Laur Airfield reduced altitude from 1,592 ft agl to -53 ft agl in 172 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25, whose length is 735 m, occurred with a threshold speed of 64 kt, a touchdown distance of 105 m, a touchdown speed of 63 kt, and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 146 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Weather at the field was 20 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 260°, giving a 2 kt headwind and no cross-wind.
The total landing roll measured 390 m, equivalent to 53 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 195 nm, required 83 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 206 kg of fuel.
