Flight Score
Departure
Hold the aircraft on the runway and wait for 180 kt before rotating.
What happened: The pilot lifted off at 63 kt, 117 kt before the 180 kt target, and the climb speed stayed slow at 193 kt against 278 kt - an early rotation like this usually carries the climb speed shortfall with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the 180 kt rotation target, then 278 kt through the climb.
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 136 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 51 kt against a target of 136 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 136 kt down to 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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate 3,829 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 5.3° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 118 kt FAST on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,384 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,384 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LGRP Diagoras Airport in Rhodes, Greece, took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The F-35B Lightning II then commenced its departure roll on runway 06, achieving liftoff at a speed of 63 knots. The takeoff distance was 153 meters, which accounted for only 5% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 12 degrees. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of LGRP Diagoras Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 21,949 feet above sea level. This represented an increase of 21,112 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend until it reached its cruising altitude. Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles south of Datca, Turkey. The descent from 21,944 feet to 279 feet above sea level resulted in a decrease of 21,664 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The F-35B Lightning II continued its flight, initiating another enroute climb overhead LGKO Kos Airport on Kos Island, Greece. The aircraft climbed from 279 feet to 17,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,720 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles, 3 miles west of LGLE Leros Airport on Leros Island, Greece. The total flight distance was 112 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft consumed 1,652 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Mykonos Island National Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The aircraft was approaching runway 16 from the north, heading 161.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 319 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 17°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing from 179°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 137 knots and a touchdown speed of 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's descent rate was perfect at -37 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The touchdown distance of 417 meters was within the acceptable range, and the total landing distance of 1,045 meters was only 55% of the runway length, indicating a safe and efficient landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft through challenging weather conditions.
