Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 5.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 67 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 89 kt against a target of 67 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 67 kt at the threshold.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,534 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KTUS Tucson International Airport, the Cessna 208B began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 29R, utilizing 800 meters, or 24% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 83 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KTUS, it ascended from 2,892 feet above sea level to 12,005 feet, a gain of 9,113 feet in just 9 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 140 minutes and covered 402 nautical miles, 3 miles south of Catalina, Arizona. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing altitude from 12,013 feet to 8,894 feet in 7 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles, 8 miles southwest of Cedar Mountain, Utah. Following a brief level cruise near Elmo, Utah, the aircraft continued its descent, decreasing altitude from 8,458 feet to 7,323 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at KPUC Carbon County Regional Airport / Buck Davis Field was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 20.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,498 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on a runway length of 2,530 meters, with a touchdown point 454 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 73 knots, with a touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,231 meters, or 49% of the runway. Following a taxiing period of 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 461 nautical miles, using 660 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 171 minutes to complete the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 01 at KPUC Carbon County Regional Airport / Buck Davis Field, with a final approach from the south at a heading of 20.0°, initiated at 4 nautical miles and 1,498 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 90 knots, indicating a potential for a longer landing roll.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 73 knots, which was faster than the recommended touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 9.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a headwind of 7 knots, were relatively calm, with a crosswind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,231 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. Despite some minor deviations from the centreline, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, earning a score of 90.7%.
