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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 400 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYAV Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36, with a takeoff distance of 387 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 56 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 174 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting overhead CYAV Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport, which lasted less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute climb began overhead CYAV Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,107 feet above sea level to 1,760 feet above sea level, an increase of 652 feet in 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles west of CYAV Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport, which lasted 23 minutes and covered 108 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 3 miles northeast of CYBR Brandon Municipal Airport. The descent was from 2,485 feet above sea level to 1,415 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,069 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The final approach to landing was made at Brandon Municipal Airport, with the aircraft descending from 73 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level in 10 seconds.
The touchdown speed was a little fast at 63 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -293 feet per minute, and the touchdown distance was good at 400 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 114 nautical miles, taking 31 minutes, and the aircraft used 34 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully completed a landing at Brandon Municipal Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.0%. The aircraft's final approach began at an altitude of 73 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the airport, with a steady descent to touchdown.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it descended from 47 feet agl to 0 feet agl in a span of 10 seconds, demonstrating a controlled and smooth descent. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down relatively quickly.
The touchdown distance of 400 meters was deemed good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and executed a smooth touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was observed to be 276 meters long, with an altitude of 1,341 feet above sea level (asl). This suggests that the pilot applied the necessary braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
