Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 2.4° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
On final, shallow the descent to match the target approach angle rather than flying a steeper path.
What happened: On final approach at the Final 3 stage, the descent angle was steeper than the target approach path.
Watch for: Watch the approach angle against the target, aiming to keep it closer to 3.2 degrees.
See Arrival Final 3
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,667 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, departing from Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield (EGCJ) on runway 28L. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The takeoff roll was successful, with a takeoff distance of 244 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 69 knots.
After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire, England. The climb was steep, with an increase in altitude from 1,075 feet above sea level to 1,796 feet above sea level, a rise of 720 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight started 1 mile south west of South Milford, North Yorkshire, England, and lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was characterized by a steady and stable altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 32 at Leeds Bradford Airport (EGNM) from the south east, heading 319.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,628 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 351 meters, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius at Leeds Bradford Airport and 8 degrees Celsius at Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 319.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,628 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a runway touchdown alignment that was perfect. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, coming in at 68 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance from the threshold was 351 meters, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more stable approach and touchdown at a lower speed. The touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and the pilot's decision-making. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more stable approach and touchdown speed.
