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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,442 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 299 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the PC-24 Air Ambulance taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Leicester Airport, EGBG, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 567 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 118 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 268°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Oadby, Leicestershire, England, rising from 1,467 feet above sea level to 3,843 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,376 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile west of Oadby, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 3,862 feet above sea level to 44,482 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,620 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 188 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Tur Langton, Leicestershire, England.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering a level cruise 1 mile south east of Schuddebeurs, Provincie Zeeland, The Netherlands, lasting for 7 minutes and covering 295 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles south west of Rugendorf, Bavaria, Germany, and descending from 44,866 feet above sea level to 1,517 feet above sea level, a decrease of 43,349 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Plzeň-Líně Airport, LKLN, was made from the north east, with a heading of 245.0° at 1 nautical mile and 330 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -146 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 301 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 839 meters, accounting for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centreline.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 574 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,030 kilograms of fuel.
The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at LKLN Plzeň-Líně Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at 1 nm and 330 ft above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, considering the runway length of 1,442 m and the local weather conditions.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 129 kt, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 301 m was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 121 kt was good, suggesting a smooth landing. The touchdown rate of -146 fpm was smooth, further indicating a well-executed landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline. These deviations were minor and did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18 °C and wind speeds of 7 kt at 220°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 kt, and the headwind was 6 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. Overall, the PC-24 Air Ambulance demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at LKLN Plzeň-Líně Airport, with a score of 93.0%.
