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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,831 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 222 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude started at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a taxi time of 8 minutes covering 2 nm. The departure took place from runway 26L with a takeoff distance of 770 m, utilizing 25 % of the runway. The liftoff speed was 133 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 18°C with a wind of 3 knots at 225°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The enroute climb began over College Park, Georgia, climbing from 2,043 ft above sea level to 40,997 ft, covering 74 nm in 14 minutes. The subsequent level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Franklin Springs, Georgia, lasting 51 minutes and covering 395 nm. The descent then commenced 1 mile southwest of Mechanicsville, Maryland, descending from 41,013 ft to 13,016 ft over 98 nm in 13 minutes. Another brief level cruise occurred 1 mile north of Greenville, Delaware, lasting 4 minutes and covering 27 nm. The final descent began over Spring House, Pennsylvania, descending from 12,534 ft to 2,135 ft over 45 nm in 11 minutes.
The landing occurred at Teterboro Airport (KTEB) on runway 06, with a runway length of 1,831 m. The aircraft was at a height of 25 ft above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 114 knots. The touchdown took place 222 m from the threshold at a speed of 108 knots with a vertical speed indicator reading of -477 ft per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 21°C with a wind of 3 knots at 225°, resulting in a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,099 m, which represented 60 % of the runway length. After landing, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for this journey was 664 nm, taking 112 minutes and consuming 1,662 kg of fuel.
First off, congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 96.3%! This score indicates a high level of proficiency and skill in various phases of the landing process.
Let's start by breaking down the different phases of the landing and providing some analysis:
Approach Phase: The excellent glideslope alignment demonstrates a strong ability to maintain proper altitude and descent rate, ensuring a smooth transition towards the runway.
Landing Phase: It's great to see that the threshold height was good, indicating a precise approach to the runway. However, the landing flare was rated as fair, suggesting there may be room for improvement in maintaining a consistent and controlled descent just before touchdown.
Touchdown Phase: The touchdown rate being very hard is a point of concern, as it could lead to excessive wear and tear on the aircraft landing gear. On the positive side, the speed being on target and the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone demonstrate good judgment and accuracy.
Rollout Phase: The runway alignment being very good indicates a successful transition from touchdown to rollout, maintaining proper alignment with the runway centerline.
One area that should be noted is the mention of landing with a 3 knot tailwind. While this may not have had a significant impact on the overall landing performance in this instance, it's important to be cautious when landing with tailwinds as they can affect control and require adjustments to approach and landing techniques.
Overall, this landing score reflects a high level of proficiency and skill in executing various landing phases. By continuing to practice and refine techniques, such as improving the landing flare and minimizing touchdown rates, you can further enhance your performance and strive for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flying!
