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: 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 599 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 599 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 55 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 08 at ETND Diepholz Air Base, with a takeoff distance of 356 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 59 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead ETND Diepholz Air Base, and climbed from an altitude of 406 feet above sea level to 3,266 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,860 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile northwest of Hude, Germany, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Meschede, Germany, and descended from an altitude of 3,281 feet above sea level to 2,261 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,021 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile southwest of Meschede, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile southeast of EDKM Meschede-Schüren Airfield, and descended from an altitude of 2,651 feet above sea level to 1,706 feet above sea level, a decrease of 945 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDKM Meschede-Schüren Airfield was made from the northeast, with a heading of 218.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 238 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 54 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 55 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 116 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 253 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 82 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 29 kilograms.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDKM Meschede-Schüren Airfield, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 218.0° at 1 nautical mile and 238 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 599 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 58 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 54 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 55 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a gentle impact on the runway.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 116°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was negligible.
The total landing distance was 253 meters, which accounts for 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout phase. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as adjusting the approach and landing technique to achieve a more accurate touchdown position and a slower touchdown speed.
