Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 60 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,322 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,322 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, where the Sirius aircraft successfully took off after covering a distance of 140 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 55 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in just 20 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed with precision, covering a similar distance in the same time frame. The pattern downwind turn was then initiated, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles while maintaining an angle of 45 degrees relative to the runway. This turn was completed at an altitude of 145.3 degrees.
The final approach to runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 94.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 253 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with precision, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed being maintained at 56 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, covering a distance of 424 meters. The touchdown speed was recorded at 40 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -18 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The total landing distance covered was 685 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, which was completed in 4 minutes, and the aircraft used a negligible amount of fuel, with no fuel being consumed during the flight.
The Sirius aircraft has successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, with a final approach score of 93.5%. The aircraft made a westward approach to runway 10, heading 94.0° at 0 nm and 253 ft above ground level (agl). The plane landed safely on the runway, which has a length of 1,322 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, with the threshold speed being 56 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 424 meters. Furthermore, the touchdown speed was 40 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -18 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on.
The weather conditions at the time of landing were ideal, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle 2-knot tailwind blowing from 269°. There was no crosswind, making the landing even more challenging, but the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft to a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance was 685 meters, which is significantly lower than the runway length and accounts for only 52% of the total runway. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, with a good rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown.
