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 3.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during 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.
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: no landing flap set and centreline 2.6° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 3,400 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,400 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,215 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 35R at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35R, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 668 m, representing 17 % of the runway, and lifted off at 81 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 28 °C, wind 8 kt from 30 °, with a 6 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind.
En-route level cruise commenced 1 mile north of ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport Shanghai (Pudong) (Shanghai Shi, China) and persisted for less than 1 minute, during which the aircraft covered less than 1 nm.
The final approach to runway 17R at ZSPD was established from the north-west, on a heading of 155.0 °, at 0 nm and 189 ft AGL.
A descent segment followed, reducing altitude from 359 ft AGL to 178 ft AGL in 24 seconds.
Landing on runway 17R, which is 3,402 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 168 ft AGL and a threshold speed of 114 kt. The touchdown point was beyond 75 % of the available runway, the touchdown speed was 85 kt, and the vertical speed was a smooth minus 134 fpm. The touchdown location was offset 52.4 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 27 °C, wind 6 kt from 25 °, with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt tailwind.
The rollout extended to a total landing distance of 3,777 m, equal to 111 % of the runway length, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was off by 60.4 m from the centreline.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 6 nm, took 7 (units as given), and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 727-200 touched down on runway 25 at ZSHC Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, registering 146 kt, which may indicate a slight over-rotation during the flare. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a fair touchdown rate of -227 fpm, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 131 kt, which was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 129 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation during the final approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,209 m accounted for 34% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 96.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
