Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 314 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, MS AT76 Austrian OE-LGK, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. This process took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31L, with a takeoff distance of 905 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 122 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 359 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Kobanya, a suburb of Budapest, Hungary. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,481 feet above sea level to 20,273 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,792 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Pannonhalma, a town in the Gyor-Moson-Sopron megye region of Hungary. This cruise phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 20,396 feet above sea level to 11,944 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,452 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Kaindorf an der Sulm, a town in the Steiermark region of Austria.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Troblje, a village in the Slovenj Gradec region of Slovenia. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Zavodnje, a village in the Obcina Sostanj region of Slovenia. During this descent, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 11,950 feet above sea level to 2,481 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,469 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 306.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 30, which has a length of 3,297 meters. The threshold speed was 112 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 336 meters. The touchdown speed was 103 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,052 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 221 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 619 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, MS AT76 Austrian OE-LGK, successfully landed at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJLJ) on runway 30. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 306.0° at an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, adhering to the standard threshold height and speed requirements.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 336 meters, with a speed of 103 knots. The touchdown rate was also satisfactory at -154 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, signifying that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing. The total landing distance was 1,052 meters, which is approximately 32% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft adhering to standard procedures and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The landing score of 98.4% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilots during this landing.
