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.

Plan view — the full 798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 79 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06R at EDFV Worms Airfield, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 289 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 6 knots blowing from a direction of 58 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 6 knots, but no crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed, it began to ascend from an altitude of 1,309 feet above sea level to 10,311 feet, a total increase of 9,002 feet in just 14 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 14 nautical miles and took the aircraft over the southeastern part of Worms, in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it maintained an altitude of 10,311 feet for 7 minutes while covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This phase took place approximately 1 mile east of Altleiningen, another town in Rheinland-Pfalz.
The enroute descent phase began when the aircraft was overhead EDFV Worms Airfield, and it quickly descended from 10,310 feet to 823 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,488 feet in just 3 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and set the stage for the final approach to runway 06R. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading in a direction of 64.0 degrees at an altitude of 498 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 06R was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 44 knots and a distance of 77 meters. The touchdown rate was -101 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft came to a stop with a total landing distance of 284 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 30 nautical miles and lasted for 31 minutes, using 14 kilograms of fuel in the process. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 6 knots blowing from a direction of 58 degrees.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDFV Worms Airfield, achieving a score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 64.0° at 1 nautical mile and 498 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 06R.
The runway length at EDFV Worms Airfield is 798 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 49 knots. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 77 meters. The touchdown speed of 44 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 58°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance was 284 meters, representing 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot executed the landing smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft demonstrated excellent performance in various aspects of the landing. The score of 99.6% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilot during the landing.
