Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOXZ Hinterstoisser Air Base took approximately 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 26L, utilizing 832 meters, or 34% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 69 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, commencing overhead Fohnsdorf, Steiermark, Austria. The aircraft successfully increased its altitude from 3,367 feet above sea level to 7,102 feet, a gain of 3,735 feet, in 8 minutes while covering 11 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase continued at various points, including near Frauenburg and Winklern bei Oberwoelz, before entering a prolonged level cruise phase 2 miles north of Sankt Peter am Kammersberg, lasting 23 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 9,785 feet to 3,911 feet in 6 minutes while covering 14 nautical miles.
Upon approaching LOWZ Zell am See Airfield, the aircraft entered a final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 08 from the west. Although the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold, the touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute was smooth. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, with a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 276 meters, or 52% of the runway. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 86 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 53 minutes and a fuel consumption of 28 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWZ Zell am See Airfield was conducted from the west, aligning with the heading of 90.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 913 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute achieved at a speed of 70 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold, indicating a need for further refinement in the pilot's landing technique.
The aircraft touched down before the threshold, resulting in a landing distance of 276 meters, which accounted for 52% of the available runway. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 4.9 meters from the centreline. Despite this, the rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of flight. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. With further practice and refinement, the pilot is likely to achieve even more precise and efficient landings.
