Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 1.7° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,866 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 181 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 172 departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, applying a departure roll that covered 271 m, representing 15 % of the runway length. Rotation was achieved at 59 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 22 seconds.
A left-hand pattern crosswind leg followed, also less than 1 nm and completed in 14 seconds.
During the downwind turn the aircraft flew 1 nm and established an angle of 77.6° to the far end of the runway.
The downwind leg extended 2 nm and was flown in 101 seconds.
The base-leg turn spanned 2 nm with an angle to the runway of 37.9° measured from the 45-degree reference.
The base leg itself was less than 1 nm and required 44 seconds to complete.
The final turn was executed over a distance of less than 1 nm in 33 seconds.
On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft descended from 578 ft AGL to 28 ft AGL in 72 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was made on runway 23, whose total length is 1,866 m. The threshold speed was 60 kt, touchdown occurred 181 m down the runway at 49 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 93 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was very good, and the same weather conditions as earlier applied.
Rollout distance measured 315 m, representing 17 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
In total the flight covered 7 nm, took 6 (units as given), and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
