Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,702 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,702 m of the 3,042 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 514 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Starship N45FL took off from Kingman Airport, runway 21, after a 16-minute taxiing period that covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft departed with a takeoff distance of 742 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots at 209 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kingman Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 4,298 feet above sea level to 34,938 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 88 nautical miles, took 23 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north of the Dick Taylor Airstrip in Kelso, California. This cruise phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 10 miles northeast of the Holiday Ranch Airport in Apple Valley, California. This descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,980 feet above sea level to 3,317 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,664 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Glen Avon, California, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at San Bernardino International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 70.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 3,042 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 110 knots. The touchdown point was 231 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 103 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 26 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,753 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 216 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes to complete, using 328 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at KSBD San Bernardino International Airport with a score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target at 61 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 110 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 231 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 103 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing process. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of 26 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, signifying that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing process. The total landing distance of 1,753 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase, which is a critical aspect of safe landing operations. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high degree of control and precision throughout the entire process.
