Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,682 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,682 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 497 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Black Square Starship N45FL taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOXZ Hinterstoisser Air Base, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,232 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 125 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and winds of 2 knots at 59 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Fohnsdorf, a town in Steiermark, Austria, and continued to an altitude of 31,148 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,107 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles south of Rohr im Gebirge, a town in Niederoesterreich, Austria, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb, this time from 31,906 feet to 33,143 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,238 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Radslavice, a town in the Jihomoravsky kraj region of the Czech Republic, and lasted for 42 minutes, covering 207 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 2 miles southwest of Janikowo, a town in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship region of Poland. The descent from 33,027 feet to 1,912 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,116 feet in 21 minutes, covered a distance of 106 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles east of Sopot, a town in the Pomeranian Voivodeship region of Poland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at EPOK Oksywie Military Air Base was made from the southeast, heading 315.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31, which had a length of 2,494 meters, was successful, with a touchdown point 70 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 103 knots, and the touchdown rate was -155 feet per minute, both of which were good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,590 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 481 nautical miles, took 109 minutes, and used 540 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at EPOK Oksywie Military Air Base with a high score of 99.6%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the south east, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down 70 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 103 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 8 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 1,590 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of Black Square Starship N45FL at EPOK Oksywie Military Air Base was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent flying skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The high score of 99.6% reflects the precision and control exhibited during the landing.
