Flight Score
Departure
Correct the drift with small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway, holding the centreline through the roll.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 8.9 m off the centreline, and the aircraft held a bank angle of 2.3° through the first climb segment; drifting off centreline on the roll usually carries into a wandering heading through the second climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: runway heading held steady through the climb.
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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.
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 382 m touchdown sits inside 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a C400 Corvalis, then departed from runway 18C at LTAI Antalya International Airport. The takeoff distance was 255 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LTAI Antalya International Airport. The climb took 6 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,192 feet above sea level to 8,155 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,963 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of FC02 Antalya Static Carrier - CVN78. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered 106 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 25 miles west of Polis. The descent took 8 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 8,181 feet above sea level to 1,872 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,308 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles west of Chlorakas. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at LCPH Paphos International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 110.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 376 meters. The touchdown speed was 76 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 290 degrees, resulting in a tailwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,193 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 158 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 27 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Cessna 400 Corvalis, successfully landed at LCPH Paphos International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 110.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 76 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 376 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 83 kt, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 12 kt from 290°. This resulted in a tailwind of 12 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, being 3.9 meters off the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,193 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the wind conditions. Overall, the landing was considered smooth, with a touchdown rate of -111 fpm, and the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing.
