Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 12° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.

Plan view — the full 899 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 144 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 20, taking off with a distance of 705 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 250°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport and reached an altitude of 12,081 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,522 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile west of Vico, Corsica, and lasted for 80 minutes, covering a distance of 270 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles southwest of Premantura, Istria, Croatia, and descended from 12,231 feet to 3,759 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,472 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile south of Nerezine, Primorsko-Goranska Zupanija, Croatia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles northeast of Nerezine and descended from 3,494 feet to 1,820 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,674 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at Lošinj Airport was made from the north, heading 200.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,631 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 20, which had a length of 899 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 72 knots was well below the target, requiring caution to avoid stalling.
The touchdown distance was good at 143 meters, and the touchdown speed of 72 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -444 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 297°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 468 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.1 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 322 nautical miles, taking 115 minutes, and the aircraft used 244 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at LDLO Lošinj Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.6%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the north, heading 200.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,631 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ensuring a smooth touchdown on the runway.
The landing was executed at a threshold speed of 72 knots, which was well below the target speed, indicating a cautious approach to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 143 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 72 knots was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -444 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 8 knots at 297°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
Despite the overall success of the landing, there was a notable issue with the runway rollout alignment. The aircraft deviated from the centerline by 19.1 meters, which may indicate a slight loss of control during the rollout phase. This deviation is not ideal, as it can compromise the safety of the aircraft and the surrounding environment.
Overall, the Beechcraft Duke aircraft demonstrated good performance during the landing at LDLO Lošinj Airport, with a total landing distance of 468 meters, which is approximately 52% of the runway length. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment, the pilot's overall skills and control were evident throughout the landing.
