MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 12° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.3 ft, 4 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,751 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,751 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 632 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Salzburg Airport, the Cessna 208B began its takeoff roll on runway 33, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 82 kt in 1,678 ft, which represented 22% of the available runway length. The aircraft then transitioned into a steady climb, reaching an altitude of 9,110 ft asl after an 8-minute climb from 2,208 ft asl, covering a distance of 21 nm. This climb phase was initiated 1 mile south of Freilassing, Germany, and was characterized by a steady increase in altitude.
As the aircraft continued its enroute phase, it began its descent 5 miles southeast of Sankt Martin bei Lofer, Austria, reducing its altitude from 9,112 ft asl to 3,611 ft asl in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nm. The aircraft then aligned itself with runway 08 at Zell am See Airfield, approaching from the west at a heading of 91.0°, 2 nm from the threshold and 1,134 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 73 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 625 ft, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 67 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -356 fpm was firm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 42 nm, and the aircraft used 20 lbs of fuel, taking 19 minutes to complete the flight. The landing distance of 1,504 ft represented 86% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60 °F and a wind of 1 kt at 268°, contributed to a stable and predictable flight profile.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWZ Zell am See Airfield from the west was executed with a heading of 91.0° at 2 nm and 1,134 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 73 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 625 ft, but the touchdown speed of 67 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -356 fpm, which is consistent with a controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60°F and a wind of 1 kt at 268°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment.
The total landing distance of 1,504 ft was 86% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 88.2% achieved. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing conditions, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
