Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,241 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 14 at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas. The takeoff distance was 488 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 116 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,024 feet above sea level to 4,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,102 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued, with the aircraft ascending from 4,110 feet above sea level to 44,264 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,154 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 77 minutes and covering 882 nautical miles, before beginning its descent. The descent started 5 miles east of a center in Texas, with the aircraft descending from 43,984 feet above sea level to 4,762 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,222 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 11 minutes and covering 45 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent. The descent started 1 mile east of Lewisville, Texas, with the aircraft descending from 4,741 feet above sea level to 2,424 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,317 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13L at Dallas Love Field was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 136.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 393 meters and a touchdown speed of 96 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -70 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 169 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,113 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,162 nautical miles, taking 141 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,500 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at KDAL Dallas Love Field, achieving a score of 97.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 136.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, as indicated by the threshold height and speed, which were both within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 96 kt and a touchdown rate of -70 fpm, which is considered excellent. The touchdown distance of 393 meters was also within the acceptable range. However, there were some minor issues with the landing, as the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and winds of 7 kt at 169°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing, but the misalignment of the runway touchdown position suggests that the pilot may have had some difficulty with the approach.
After touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have had some difficulty with controlling the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase. However, the total landing distance of 1,113 meters, which is 50% of the runway length, indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the alignment of the runway touchdown position and the rollout alignment. These issues suggest that the pilot may have had some difficulty with the approach and rollout phases, but the overall score of 97.4% indicates that the landing was still well-executed.
