Flight Score
Departure
Rotate as soon as the speed tape reaches the rotation target, easing back pressure smoothly without delay.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off above the rotation target speed, rotating later than planned.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the rotation target speed.
See Departure Roll
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,637 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 747 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Savage Cub departed KOSH Wittman Regional Airport on runway 36, executing a departure roll that consumed 7,626 ft, representing 95 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 53 kt. Ambient conditions recorded a temperature of 66 °F, a wind from 359° at 11 kt, with no cross-wind component and a head-wind component of 11 kt.
Climb commenced immediately after takeoff while the aircraft remained overhead KOSH. The climb progressed from 856 ft ASL to 868 ft ASL, an altitude gain of 12 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering less than 1 NM.
The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, maintaining a heading of 267.0° at an altitude of 73 ft AGL when the aircraft was 0 NM from the threshold. Weather at the time indicated a temperature of 66 °F, a wind from 0° at 12 kt, producing a cross-wind of 12 kt and no head-wind component.
Landing on runway 27, which measures 5,637 ft, was completed with a threshold speed of 50 kt, noted as well above the target. Touchdown occurred 740 ft down the runway at a speed of 30 kt, with a descent rate of minus 166 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 55 ft from the centreline, though the runway condition was reported as having a good threshold height.
In total, the flight covered 2 NM, took 3 (unspecified units) and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
The aircraft approached runway 27 on a heading of 267.0° with the airplane at 73 ft above ground level and zero nautical miles from the threshold. Local weather was 66 °F with a 12 kt wind from 0°, giving a 12 kt crosswind and no headwind.
The threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 50 kt, which was well above the target.
Touchdown was recorded 740 ft down the runway at a speed of 30 kt and a vertical rate of -166 fpm, both rated good. The touchdown point was offset 55 ft from the centreline, a significant misalignment.
With a final score of 95.1% the landing was strong overall; focus on maintaining centreline alignment during the flare to reduce the 55 ft offset, and adjust speed management to achieve the intended threshold speed rather than the observed 50 kt.
