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.

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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,632 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,134 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,282 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. After departing from runway 27, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 15 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a heading of 114.9°. The downwind leg itself was completed in 6 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 09 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at 1 nautical mile and 250 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,133 feet and a touchdown speed of 67 knots. The touchdown rate was also good, at -150 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 76°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,063 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used 9 pounds of fuel, taking a total of 8 minutes to complete.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at 1 nautical mile and 250 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 74°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 76°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions was evident in the smooth execution of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 82 knots, registering at 82 kt. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,133 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 67 kt was also satisfactory. The rate of descent at -150 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled and stable approach.
The most impressive aspect of this landing was the perfect alignment of the aircraft with the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, and the rollout alignment was also flawless. This level of precision is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 2,063 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional control and precision throughout the maneuver.
