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 8.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,547 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 580 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Henry E Rohlsen Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 1,260 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind of 22 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 21 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,073 feet above sea level to 37,343 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,271 feet in 19 minutes, covering 105 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles west of the San Juan Static Carrier - CVN76, and lasted 107 minutes, covering 770 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 19 miles west of the San Andros Airport, where it descended from 37,437 feet above sea level to 3,849 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,588 feet in 23 minutes, covering 123 nautical miles.
The aircraft then experienced a series of short climbs and descents, starting with a climb from 3,794 feet above sea level to 5,732 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,938 feet in 3 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent from 5,694 feet above sea level to 3,378 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,316 feet in 2 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise 6 miles west of Kendall West, lasting 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. Another descent started 4 miles west of Tamiami, where the aircraft descended from 2,969 feet above sea level to 1,370 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,599 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport was from the west, heading 86.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,352 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on runway 09, which was 3,547 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31°C temperature and a wind of 15 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,186 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,022 nautical miles, taking 170 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,976 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,352 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 3,547 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 158 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,186 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the performance criteria.
