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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,988 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Icon A5, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYYW Armstrong Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 30, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after traveling 114 feet, which accounted for 3% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 278 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began overhead CYYW Armstrong Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,299 feet above sea level to 1,834 feet, an increase of 535 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. This phase took place over the same location as the initial climb, overhead CYYW Armstrong Airport. The final approach to landing began 16 miles southeast of the airport, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 201 feet above ground level to 0 feet, a decrease of 201 feet, in 25 seconds.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it encountered the same local weather conditions as before, with a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 278 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots. The touchdown speed was 40 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -31 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 523 feet beyond the touchdown zone.
The landing rollout took place at an altitude of 846 feet above sea level, and the aircraft traveled a distance of 102 feet before coming to a stop. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as Icon A5, successfully completed a landing at a location 16 miles southeast of Armstrong Airport in Ontario, Canada. The final approach to landing was executed from an altitude of 1 nm (approximately 5,280 feet) to 1 nm at 201 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a controlled descent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's altitude and airspeed.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 49 feet agl to 0 feet agl in a span of 25 seconds, showcasing a smooth and steady rate of descent. The touchdown speed of 40 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled airspeed. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -31 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact.
The touchdown point was located 523 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, this does not appear to have compromised the safety of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 278 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 846 feet above sea level (asl). The distance covered during the rollout was 102 feet, indicating a relatively short and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
