Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down a touch longer and let speed build to 83 kt before liftoff.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 55 kt, 28 kt below the 83 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 83 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 11° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,797 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 09 at EKBI Billund Airport in Denmark. The takeoff distance was 322 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 55 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 29°.
The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of EKBI Billund Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,226 feet above sea level to 10,198 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,972 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northeast of Holsted, Denmark, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile northeast of EKBI Billund Airport, with the aircraft descending from 10,190 feet above sea level to 711 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,479 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at EKBI Billund Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 87.0° at an altitude of 468 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 09, which had a length of 2,797 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 69 knots.
The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 43 knots and a touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 705 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline.
The flight concluded with a taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 54 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 33 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -773 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at EKBI Billund Airport, with a final approach score of 83.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at 1 nautical mile and 468 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted on runway 09, which has a length of 2,797 meters.
The threshold height at 77 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude during the approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 69 knots, which may indicate a slight delay in the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 43 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a controlled descent and touch down at a safe speed. The touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 29°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 705 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, with a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, with a good touchdown speed and rate, and a relatively short landing distance. However, there were some minor deviations in the aircraft's alignment during the approach and rollout.
