Smooth the climb
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,565 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,565 m of the 2,512 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 328 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 to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,228 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 128 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Luton, England, and involved ascending from an altitude of 415 meters above sea level to 5,797 meters above sea level, an increase of 5,382.1 meters, in 8 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile north-east of Braintree, Essex, England, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The enroute descent then started 24 miles north-west of Nieuw-Haamstede, Provincie Zeeland, The Netherlands, and involved descending from 5,793 meters above sea level to 428 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,365.5 meters, in 20 minutes and covering 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 215.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 403.2 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 21 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 330 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was -2.2 meters per second, which was considered hard.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 145 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,484 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 5 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 225 nautical miles, took 53 minutes, and used 2,310 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient climb, cruise, and descent, as well as a successful landing on runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport.
The aircraft, identified as A21N, successfully landed on runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport with a high score of 97.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 215.0° at an altitude of 403.2 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 knots. The touchdown distance of 330 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was well-controlled. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -2.2 meters per second, which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 145°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,484 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing performance of the A21N aircraft was impressive, with a high score and a smooth, controlled touchdown. The favorable weather conditions and the aircraft's good handling characteristics contributed to a successful landing.
