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 9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,471 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,220 ft touchdown sits inside 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 34 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Black Square Starship N45FL, then departed from runway 23 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport in Samara, Russia. The takeoff distance was 2,771 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 100 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 60°F, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 200°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 32,904 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 68 nautical miles and took 19 minutes to complete, with an increase in altitude of 31,399 feet. The enroute climb phase ended 5 miles east of Novoul'yanovsk, Russia, where the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase that lasted for 89 minutes and covered a distance of 393 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 7 miles southwest of Klimovsk, Russia, and took the aircraft down from a height of 33,139 feet to 1,318 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 18 nautical miles and took 21 minutes to complete, with a decrease in altitude of 31,821 feet. The final approach to runway 06 at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 662 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 86 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,219 feet. The touchdown rate was perfect at 72 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 55°F, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 340°. The total landing distance was 2,528 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 489 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 150 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,589 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport on runway 06. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at an altitude of 662 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing, achieving a score of 98.6%.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 96 knots. This indicates that the pilot had a good control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 1,219 feet was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 86 knots was good. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at 72 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot had a high degree of control over the aircraft's descent and was able to touch down smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots, but the aircraft was able to handle it well. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's position and orientation during the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,528 feet was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had a good control over the aircraft's speed and descent rate, and was able to touch down smoothly and quickly. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good control over the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of Black Square Starship N45FL at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed landing. The pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control over the aircraft, and was able to touch down smoothly and quickly in a variety of weather conditions.
