Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 14 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 6.8° of bank in the first climb segment and 5.1° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 82 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,062 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the Phenom 300E taxied from the parking area to the runway in under 2 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 24°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, the aircraft took off from runway 09, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 120 knots in just 612 meters, or 46% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed out of London City Airport, it quickly gained altitude, rising from 958 feet above sea level to 3,013 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was characterized by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for short periods before resuming its ascent. The most significant climb phase took place over the English countryside, where the aircraft climbed from 3,010 feet to 43,011 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted for 41 minutes, during which the aircraft covered an impressive 819 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Keflavik International Airport in Iceland, it began its descent, initially losing 1,878 feet in altitude in just 2 minutes. The final approach phase was characterized by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude before beginning its descent. The aircraft landed on runway 19, touching down at a speed of 103 knots and a distance of 416 meters, or 22% of the runway's length. The total landing distance was 664 meters, with the runway rollout alignment being very good. The aircraft used a total of 1,246 kilograms of fuel to cover a distance of 1,085 nautical miles, taking a total of 92 minutes to complete the flight.
The final approach to runway 19 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 1,342 ft above ground level, heading 180.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 83 ft above ground level, significantly above the target. However, the aircraft maintained a steady descent and aligned itself with the runway, setting up for a controlled touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed was 103 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was good, at 416 m, and the aircraft maintained a relatively flat attitude, with a touchdown rate of -297 fpm, which was fair. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a wind of 16 kt at 209°, contributed to a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 14 kt.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and well-controlled, with excellent alignment with the centreline. The total landing distance was 664 m, which was 22% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 84.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the desired path, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated in maintaining control throughout the approach and landing phases.
