Flight Score
Departure
Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.
What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading
Arrival
Be established on the glideslope before the gate, with small corrections made early rather than a large one late.
What happened: The approach was off the glideslope at the stabilisation gate.
Watch for: Glideslope indication at the gate
See Arrival Approach
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 5.2° against the runway's 3° and centreline 2.0° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,045 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 134 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 17R at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17R the aircraft used 49 m of runway, representing 5 % of the available length, and lifted off at 52 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C.
Climb commenced overhead Mordialloc, ascending from 1,040 ft asl to 3,050 ft asl, a gain of 2,010 ft in 3 minutes while covering 5 nm.
Level cruise began overhead Carrum and continued for 5 minutes, covering 10 nm.
A subsequent climb started overhead Cranbourne, rising from 3,288 ft asl to 3,862 ft asl, an increase of 573 ft in 2 minutes and traversing 4 nm.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise 1 mile south of Clyde, lasting 7 minutes and covering 14 nm.
Climb resumed 1 mile south-east of Cardinia, climbing from 4,366 ft asl to 5,082 ft asl, a gain of 717 ft in 6 minutes over a distance of 8 nm.
Descent began 1 mile north-east of Clyde North, descending from 5,106 ft asl to 1,530 ft asl, a loss of 3,576 ft in 5 minutes while covering 7 nm.
A level cruise followed 1 mile south of Eumemmerring, lasting 5 minutes and covering 8 nm.
Descent continued overhead Heatherton, dropping from 1,521 ft asl to 311 ft asl, a decrease of 1,210 ft in 2 minutes across 2 nm.
Final approach to runway 17R at YMMB proceeded from 498 ft agl to 58 ft agl in 32 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Touchdown occurred on runway 17R, whose length is 1,045 m, with a threshold speed of 62 kt, touchdown distance of 133 m, touchdown speed of 53 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 67 fpm; runway alignment was perfect and temperature remained 16 °C.
After landing, the Cessna 172 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total distance of 61 nm, lasted 40 minutes, and consumed 20 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 30 at KOAK was stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,353 ft agl to 33 ft agl in 112 seconds and earned points on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 129 kt; the flare produced a touchdown distance that was good at 281 ft.
Touchdown occurred at 128 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 354 fpm and the wheel track was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,951 ft, representing 19 % of the 10,394-ft runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
A minor reduction in touchdown speed would bring the aircraft closer to the target speed and help lessen the firm rate, while a small correction in lateral positioning can eliminate the 12-ft centreline offset.
