Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 8.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a C400 Corvalis, then departed from runway 23 at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport. The takeoff distance was 374 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 329°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. After departing from LTBA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and climbing from an altitude of 747 feet above sea level to 2,928 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 2,181 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 2 miles south of Bahcelievler, Istanbul, and lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. Following this, the enroute descent phase started 2 miles north of Adalar, Istanbul, and involved a descent from an altitude of 2,917 feet above sea level to 1,334 feet above sea level. This decrease in altitude of 1,583 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,004 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 418 meters, which is 24% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 62 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -54 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 710 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Cessna 400 Corvalis, successfully landed at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (LTFJ) on runway 06L. The pilot's final approach was executed from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,004 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was deemed successful, with a score of 95.5%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 74 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 418 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 710 meters was only 24% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 13.1 meters off-centerline. This deviation was minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. Overall, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were demonstrated to be excellent, with a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing.
