Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 7 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 7 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 4.8 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 4.8 ft, but 154 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.
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.

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 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,042 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 830 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 33R at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,034 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of -11°C temperature and a wind of 16 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,376 feet above sea level to 15,532 feet, an increase of 14,156 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles south of Orono Field, lasting 11 minutes and covering 46 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb 3 miles west of Stirling Airport, ascending from 15,885 feet to 23,085 feet, an increase of 7,200 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 7 miles southeast of Tweed, lasting 24 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 7 miles northwest of Long Sault Airstrip, descending from 23,173 feet to 8,829 feet, a decrease of 14,344 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 5 miles north of Les Coteaux, lasting 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The descent continued 2 miles southeast of Oka, with the aircraft descending from 8,092 feet to 2,592 feet, a decrease of 5,500 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles north of Dollard-Des Ormeaux, lasting 10 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The final descent started 2 miles southeast of Saint-Amable, with the aircraft descending from 2,170 feet to 1,195 feet, a decrease of 975 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Montréal / Saint-Hubert Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 232.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,110 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,336 meters, accounting for 65% of the runway. The touchdown point was 390 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 83 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at -34 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -16°C temperature and a wind of 17 knots at 230°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 307 nautical miles, taking 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 376 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at CYHU Montréal / Saint-Hubert Airport on runway 24R. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,110 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's performance during the landing was evaluated, and the results showed a score of 86.5%.
One of the notable aspects of the landing was the final approach to the runway. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly high on the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 107 knots, which could have been a concern for the pilot. However, the touchdown point was 390 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 83 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -34 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the descent and touchdown smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were quite challenging, with a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 17 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, but the headwind component was significant at 17 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 1,336 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon in challenging weather conditions. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was good, but there were some areas for improvement. The high threshold speed and slightly fast touchdown speed were concerns, but the pilot was able to execute a safe and controlled landing despite the challenging weather conditions.
