Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 117 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 133 kt, 16 kt past the 117 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 117 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 16 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 17 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and 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.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 736 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Pilatus PC-24 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Take-off was performed on a 764 m distance, which was 21 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 133 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 17 °C, wind 14 kt from 230°, giving a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind component.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,282 fpm and reaching 171 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 988 ft asl to 1,561 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 2 nm, remaining overhead Auckland. Level flight was maintained at 1,500 ft asl for 4 minutes, covering 10 nm and beginning 2 miles south of the airport.
During final approach to runway 23L, descent was from 1,400 ft agl to 81 ft agl in 120 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level; the check for centreline was not met at one gate.
Landing was on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height at 62 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 123 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 305 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 104 kt, with a smooth rate of -111 fpm. The touchdown position was misaligned by 16.1 m from the centreline. Two bounces were observed after touchdown. Runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.8 m from the centreline, and total landing distance was 1,253 m, representing 34 % of the runway.
Local weather at landing was temperature 16 °C, wind 14 kt from 230°, with a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind component. The total flight covered 18 nm, lasted 8 minutes, and used 68 kg of fuel.
