Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 10 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 10 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 89 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 430 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Antalya International Airport, where it initiated its takeoff roll on runway 36C. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 77 kt, clearing the ground at a distance of 470 meters, which represented 14% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C, with a 5 kt headwind and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude of 12,010 ft, it traversed a distance of 21 nm in 9 minutes, achieving an ascent of 10,905 ft. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead Antalya, after which the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 29 minutes while covering 95 nm. The flight then began its descent, initially from 11,999 ft to 3,990 ft in 9 minutes, covering 28 nm. This was followed by a series of level cruise phases, each lasting between 2 and 9 minutes, as the aircraft navigated through the Cypriot airspace. The final descent phase commenced 3 miles south of Pissouri, with the aircraft touching down on runway 29 at Paphos International Airport.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 83 kt, a touchdown speed of 68 kt, and a touchdown rate of -44 fpm, all of which were within acceptable limits. The total landing distance was 1,287 m, representing 48% of the runway's length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the flight with a total distance of 193 nm and a fuel consumption of 59 kg. The flight duration was 73 minutes, during which the aircraft was subjected to varying wind conditions, including a 13 kt headwind at the time of landing.
The aircraft touched down on runway 29 at LCPH Paphos International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 83 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 428 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 68 kt was consistent with the recommended values, and the touchdown rate of -44 fpm was perfect, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.9 m, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 13 kt, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,287 m, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.9 m, which may have been a continuation of the issue observed during the touchdown phase. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 94.4%.
