Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2.1°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,599 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 696 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 04 at LIPX Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport. The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off with a takeoff distance of 451 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 116 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 87 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft handled them well.
The flight then entered a left-hand pattern, with the aircraft turning from runway 04. The entry distance was 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds, demonstrating the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The crosswind component during the pattern turn was less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds, further showcasing the aircraft's ability to handle challenging wind conditions.
As the aircraft continued its pattern, it performed a downwind turn, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The angle to the runway was 45 degrees, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 907 feet above ground level (agl) when it began its final approach.
The final approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 43.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 2,599 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 110 knots. The touchdown point was 306 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 90 knots.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was excellent at -75 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 80 degrees, with a crosswind component of 6 knots and a headwind component of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,092 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight used 51 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at LIPX Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 43.0° at 2 nautical miles and 907 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 2,599 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 110 knots. The touchdown point was 306 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 90 knots was a bit fast, but the touchdown rate of -75 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,092 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment. However, the excellent touchdown rate and short landing distance suggest that the pilot was able to execute a smooth and controlled landing.
