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 4,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 684 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 01 at Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 628 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 131 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with no wind at 225 degrees. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport at an altitude of 1,179 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles, and reaching an altitude of 45,705 feet above sea level, an increase of 44,526 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 36 miles east of Pedasí Airport. This phase lasted for 28 minutes, covering a distance of 206 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, from an altitude of 46,173 feet above sea level to 45,479 feet above sea level, a decrease of 694 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 109 miles northwest of Timbiqui, Colombia. This phase lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, from an altitude of 45,015 feet above sea level to 17,992 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,023 feet, in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 21 miles west of Cotacachi, Ecuador. This phase lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its third descent, from an altitude of 17,911 feet above sea level to 14,983 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,928 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 15 miles north of Mariscal Sucre Air Base, Quito, Ecuador. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its fourth descent, from an altitude of 14,991 feet above sea level to 9,697 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,294 feet, in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south of Mariscal Sucre International Airport, Quito, Ecuador. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at Mariscal Sucre International Airport, from the south, heading 357.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,849 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was performed on runway 36, with a length of 4,113 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 118 knots. The touchdown point was 267 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at SEQM Mariscal Sucre International Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 357.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,849 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, as indicated by the runway touchdown alignment, which was very good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 267 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. However, the touchdown speed of 104 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing relatively well.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. The total landing distance of 1,380 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
