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 3.8° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 65 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 93 kt, 28 kt above the 65 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 65 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,964 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 379 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Cessna Grand Caravan flight with the Kenmore livery began its journey from the parking area of the Adem Jashari International Airport in Priština, Kosovo. Taxiing to the runway took 4 minutes and covered approximately 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft departed from runway 35 at the Priština airport, utilizing a short takeoff distance of 339 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway length.
At takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 76 knots (kt) after overcoming a headwind of 9 knots. The local weather conditions featured a temperature of 18 °C and winds blowing at 10 kt at a direction of 14 °. The resulting crosswind was 3 kt, while the headwind played a significant role in assisting with the takeoff.
Following the takeoff, an enroute climb commenced about 1 mile north of the Priština airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,804 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,868 ft asl over a very brief period of less than a minute, covering less than 1 nm. An enroute level cruise ensued shortly thereafter, lasting for 2 minutes as the aircraft covered 3 nm.
The next enroute climb began near Obiliq, Kosovo, where the aircraft climbed from 3,316 ft asl to 7,977 ft asl over an interval of 5 minutes, covering 5 nm. Another enroute level cruise followed this climb, lasting for 33 minutes as the aircraft covered a significant distance of 38 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent at different intervals. The first descent occurred near Selce, Macedonia, where the aircraft descended from 8,001 ft asl to 6,987 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 5 nm. The subsequent enroute level cruises interspersed with descents took place over various locations in Macedonia, featuring notable changes in altitude and distances traveled.
The final approach to runway 34 at the Skopje International Airport involved heading south, with the aircraft leveling off 3 nm away from the runway and descending to 1,744 feet above ground level (agl) at this point.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft landed with a threshold speed of 93 kt and touchdown speed of 81 kt. The touchdown distance was good, covering 378 meters of the available runway length of 2,964 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute (fpm). The aircraft then taxied to the parking area of the Skopje International Airport, covering a distance of less than 1 nm over 2 minutes.
This Cessna Grand Caravan flight covered an overall distance of 99 nm, took a total of 56 minutes, and consumed 240 kilograms of fuel throughout its journey. Overall, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, considering the varied weather conditions and diverse terrain encountered along the route.
The Cessna Grand Caravan, sporting the Kenmore livery, has successfully landed at LWSK Skopje International Airport with an impressive 95.5% score. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 34 from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,744 feet above ground level.
As it descended towards the runway, the aircraft maintained a steady heading and altitude, demonstrating precise control. Upon touching down on the 2,964-meter runway, the pilot successfully achieved a good threshold height, meeting the required standards. The threshold speed of 93 knots was perfectly maintained throughout the landing, indicating a high level of piloting skill.
A notable aspect of the landing was the touchdown distance, which was a mere 378 meters, showcasing excellent control and precision. The touchdown speed of 81 knots was also well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute was incredibly smooth, reflecting a high degree of expertise from the pilot. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the aircraft was precisely aligned with the runway centerline during touchdown.
Local weather conditions played a significant role in the smooth execution of the landing. The temperature was a moderate 17°C, while the wind presented a headwind of 11 knots at 348°, resulting in a crosswind of just 1 knot. This minimal crosswind was easily manageable by the skilled pilot, who effectively utilized the aircraft's capabilities to maintain control throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,454 meters was impressive, accounting for just 49% of the runway length. This demonstrates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop well within the designated runway area. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, reflecting a high level of control and attention to detail throughout the landing process.
In summary, this landing of the Cessna Grand Caravan was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot expertly navigating through challenging weather conditions to achieve a flawless touchdown and rollout. The impressive 95.5% score speaks volumes about the pilot's exceptional skills and dedication to safe and precise flight operations.
