Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Once the sink is arrested at 33 ft, keep easing the yoke back to let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 33 ft and held there well above the runway instead of being let down, and a bounce followed at touchdown. Holding off high like this usually carries through to an unsettled touchdown rather than a smooth one.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: continue the descent through the normal flare band to the runway
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

2 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LEPP · Pamplona Airport | 17:10 | 1331 ft/min | 0.0 kt | 0.0 kt | 0:29 |

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 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,622 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,622 m of the 1,901 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 563 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at Bilbao Airport (LEBB), where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 548 meters, which is 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Erandio, Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa, Spain, at an altitude of 790 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 5,604 feet in altitude, reaching a maximum altitude of 6,395 feet above sea level.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Bergara, Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa, Spain. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles north of Oltza, Navarra, Spain. The descent was steep, with a decrease of 6,073 feet in altitude in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 9,277 feet above sea level to 3,204 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 15 at Pamplona Airport (LEPP) was made from the northwest, heading 144.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,672 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 67 knots. The touchdown point was 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 48 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,515 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 68 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 39 minutes. The aircraft used 22 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at LEPP Pamplona Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 144.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,672 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway 15 threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 67 knots. This indicates a high level of control and precision on the part of the pilot. The touchdown point was located 121 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 48 knots was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth and controlled.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,515 meters was 80% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at LEPP Pamplona Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and touchdown.
