Maintain a smooth pitch
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,382 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,382 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 297 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Sierra C24R began with a smooth departure roll on runway 20 at EGSX North Weald. The takeoff distance was only 201 meters, utilizing 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were ideal, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 1 knot coming from 270°. There was virtually no crosswind or headwind to contend with during takeoff.
Upon entering the right-hand pattern from runway 20 at EGSX North Weald, the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 36 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was similarly brief, taking just 32 seconds to cover the same distance. The pattern downwind turn covered 2 nautical miles at an angle of 49.5° to the runway in a time frame of 116 seconds. The downwind leg itself extended for 3 nautical miles.
The pattern base leg turn involved covering 2 nautical miles at a 45° angle to the runway in a time of 37.3°. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took just 19 seconds to traverse. The final turn before landing also covered less than 1 nautical mile and lasted for 32 seconds.
The landing on runway 20 at EGSX North Weald was successful, with a touchdown occurring 295 meters from the threshold. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 51 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of 27 ft/min. The local weather conditions at the time of landing had a temperature of 15°C and a slight 1 knot crosswind coming from 270°, with no headwind to contend with.
The total landing distance was 684 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length. The total flight distance covered was 9 nautical miles, with a duration of 15 minutes and fuel consumption of 3 kg. Overall, the flight in the Sierra C24R was efficient and smooth, with the pilot successfully navigating the various phases of flight from takeoff to landing.
Great job on the aircraft landing with a score of 96.6%! Let's break down each phase of the landing to see what went right and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it's excellent to see that the glideslope alignment was spot on. However, the speed was a little below the target. This is something to keep in mind for future landings, as maintaining the correct speed is crucial for a smooth touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to note that the threshold height was good and the landing flare was executed perfectly. This shows your skill in controlling the aircraft during the critical moments before touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was perfect and your speed was on target. Additionally, touching down inside the touchdown zone is a sign of precision and expertise. The runway touchdown position being very good also demonstrates your ability to make precise adjustments for a smooth landing.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it's impressive to see that the runway alignment was very good. This is important for ensuring a safe and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, your performance during this landing was commendable with the majority of phases scoring very high. Keep practicing and paying attention to areas that need improvement, such as maintaining target speed during the approach. With continued dedication and skill honing, you can aim for even higher scores in future landings. Well done!
