What went well

Touchdown 259 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 52 ft and 68 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.39 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -378 fpm at 29 %, −1.18 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 43 %, −1.18 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 151 kt against 124 kt at 77 %, −0.75 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 124 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 27 kt fast at 151 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 124 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to runway 31 at EGPC Wick Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.

During the departure roll on runway 31, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 79 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 470 m, representing 31 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 15 °C with wind 14 kt from 023°, a 14 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of EGPC, with the airplane rising from 1,122 ft asl to 2,796 ft asl, a gain of 1,675 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.

Level cruise began about 5 nm north-west of EGPC and was maintained for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 27 nm.

Descent was initiated 3 nm north of EGZQ Flotta Isle Airport, descending from 2,944 ft asl to 1,323 ft asl, a loss of 1,621 ft over 5 minutes and a distance of 5 nm.

The final approach to runway 06 at EGPA Kirkwall Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 58.0° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft agl; local conditions were 15 °C, wind 14 kt from 023°, with an 8 kt cross-wind and a 12 kt head-wind.

Landing on runway 06 was executed with a threshold speed of 69 kt; touchdown occurred 229 m down the runway at 66 kt, a firm rate of minus 378 fpm, and perfect alignment, resulting in a total landing distance of 358 m (31 % of the runway).

The rollout continued with perfect runway alignment, confirming the touchdown performance and completing the ground phase of the flight.

In total, the flight covered 42 nm, required 24 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 51 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 06 at EGPA Kirkwall Airport in the Cessna 208B
Landing Score 90.54 %
Landing Summary

Cessna 208B achieved a score of 93.9 % on the final approach to runway 06 at EGPA Kirkwall Airport from the south-west, flying a heading of 58.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was temperature 15 °C, wind 14 kt at 23 °, providing a crosswind component of 8 kt and a headwind component of 12 kt.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 69 kt, which was judged good. Touchdown distance was good at 229 m, while touchdown speed of 66 kt was noted as a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at minus 378 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Touchdown occurred on runway 06 with a total landing distance of 358 m, representing 31 % of the 1,169 m runway. The alignment remained perfect through the rollout phase, confirming consistent centreline tracking.

Runway rollout alignment was perfect, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline to the end of the roll.

Refine flare timing to reduce the touchdown speed slightly below the noted 66 kt and to soften the firm rate of minus 378 fpm. Maintaining the current alignment and stabilised approach will preserve the high overall score.
