Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 5.4° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,763 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 283 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, departing from Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) and landing at Hollywood Burbank Airport (KBUR). The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft began its departure roll on runway 16R, it took off with a takeoff distance of 326 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 60 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
After departing from Van Nuys, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,595 feet above sea level to 2,074 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 479 feet was achieved in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached KBUR, it began its final approach to runway 08 from the west, heading at a direction of 98.0° and at an altitude of 1,339 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The landing on runway 08 was conducted with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 81 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 283 meters, and the touchdown speed at 73 knots was too fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 671 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, taking 9 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 98.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,339 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 1,763 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 81 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more stable approach speed. The touchdown distance of 283 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 73 knots was slightly too fast, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate was indeed firm, at -317 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively high rate. This may be attributed to the slightly too fast touchdown speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to compensate for the excessive speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly too fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 671 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of approach speed and touchdown rate.
