Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 1,219 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 300 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering less than 1 nm in just 2 minutes. The departure roll took place on runway 25 at EGWU Northolt AB, with a takeoff distance of 661 m, which represented 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 113 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 17°C, with a wind speed of 13 kn at 190°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 kn and a headwind of 6 kn.
The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of EGWU Northolt AB, climbing from 1,198 ft asl to 26,162 ft asl, covering 31 nm in 12 minutes. The level cruise portion of the flight began 1 mile west of Meopham (Kent, England) and lasted 62 minutes, covering 290 nm. The enroute descent started 2 miles east of La Fermete (Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France), descending from 26,123 ft asl to 2,734 ft asl over 22 minutes and 91 nm.
The landing was on runway 16 at LFLY Bron, with a runway length of 1,219 m. The height at threshold was 23 ft agl, and the speed at threshold was 98 kn. The touchdown occurred 299 m from the threshold at a speed of 81 kn and a VSI of -84 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 18°C, with a wind speed of 11 kn at 160°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 11 kn. The total landing distance was 445 m, representing 37% of the runway.
Finally, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 422 nm, which took 106 minutes to complete and used 591 kg of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving a perfect landing score of 100.0%! Your performance during each phase of the aircraft landing was exceptional, showcasing precision and skill.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was spot on, indicating a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. This is crucial for setting up a successful landing and ensuring a safe touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated excellent control over the aircraft's threshold height, allowing for a seamless transition from descending to the landing flare. Your perfect landing flare indicates that you were able to smoothly reduce the aircraft's descent rate right before touchdown, resulting in a soft and stable landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent, reflecting your ability to gauge the aircraft's descent and touch down smoothly on the runway. Additionally, maintaining the correct speed during touchdown is crucial for a safe and successful landing, and you were right on target. The fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone shows your precise flying skills, while the runway touchdown position being very good indicates your proficiency in placing the aircraft accurately on the runway.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, ensuring that the aircraft tracks straight down the runway after touchdown. This is essential for a safe and controlled rollout after landing.
Overall, your performance during each phase of the landing was outstanding, demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in aircraft handling. Keep up the excellent work and continue to strive for perfection in every landing you make. Well done!
