Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 0.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,337 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 116 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 17 at LFMD Cannes-Mandelieu Airport. The takeoff distance was 494 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting 6 miles south of Theoule-sur-Mer in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,002 feet above sea level to 2,063 feet, an increase of 1,061 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 6 miles southeast of Saint-Raphael in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. This phase lasted for 1401 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 176 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile northeast of Latour-Bas-Elne in the Occitanie region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,696 feet above sea level to 2,179 feet, an increase of 483 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise phase of the flight began overhead Elne in the Occitanie region. This phase lasted for just 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport, which was located to the southeast. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 329.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,457 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 60 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, at 113 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 58 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was good, at -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 4.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 354 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 199 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 129 minutes. The aircraft used 91 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 33 from the south east, heading 329.0° at 4 nm and 1,457 ft above ground level (agl), showcased precise control and navigation skills.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 60 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage airspeed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 58 kt was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a slightly higher rate of descent.
The touchdown rate of -173 fpm was within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent and a smooth landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively stable and calm environment for the landing. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, with 2 kt and 1 kt respectively, which further reduced the challenges associated with the landing.
The total landing distance of 354 m, which accounted for 15% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and successfully brought it to a stop without any issues.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in approach and landing procedures.
