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 1.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a PC-12 aircraft, which began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UGGG Lochini, a process that took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 31L was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 768 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of -2°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 302°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of UGTB Tbilisi International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 2,567 feet above sea level to 23,055 feet, an increase of 20,488 feet in just 14 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 5 miles southeast of Uplistsikhe, lasting 16 minutes and covering 82 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 23,147 feet to 25,019 feet, an increase of 1,873 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 7 miles north of Khulo, lasting 45 minutes and covering 550 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it encountered various weather conditions and navigated through different altitudes. The enroute descent phase started 4 miles west of Sapanca, where the aircraft descended from 25,164 feet to 13,624 feet, a decrease of 11,540 feet in 12 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 6 miles south of Orhangazi, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started again 4 miles west of LTGE Gemlik Airfield, where the aircraft descended from 13,625 feet to 7,534 feet, a decrease of 6,091 feet in 5 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 12 miles northwest of Mudanya, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started once more 16 miles northwest of Mudanya, where the aircraft descended from 7,527 feet to 2,805 feet, a decrease of 4,722 feet in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase resumed 14 miles south of Beylikduezue, where the aircraft ascended from 2,803 feet to 3,302 feet, an increase of 499 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 11 miles south of Beylikduezue, lasting 5 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started again 5 miles south of Beylikduezue, where the aircraft descended from 2,553 feet to 1,451 feet, a decrease of 1,102 feet in 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 59.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,333 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 70 knots and a touchdown rate of -103 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good at 350 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of
The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 77 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 350 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 70 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -103 feet per minute.
The landing was further evaluated in terms of its alignment with the runway centerline. While the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, the overall performance was still considered satisfactory. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 10 kt from a direction of 57°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind of 10 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 796 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure optimal performance.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were demonstrated to be effective in handling the landing conditions.
