Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.2 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,119 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,119 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 194 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 29 at LQSA Sarajevo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 85 meters, which is only 4% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of LQSA Sarajevo International Airport. The climb took 4 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,592 feet above sea level to 6,693 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,101 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles east of LQKR Kreševo Airstrip, lasting 42 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northwest of Grabovac, where the aircraft descended from 6,997 feet above sea level to 4,033 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,964 feet in 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile southeast of Baric, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. Another enroute descent started 2 miles southeast of Velika Mostanica, where the aircraft descended from 4,004 feet above sea level to 3,166 feet above sea level, a decrease of 838 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northwest of Ripanj, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. Another enroute descent started 3 miles northeast of Rusanj, where the aircraft descended from 3,112 feet above sea level to 1,742 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,371 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles southeast of Belgrade, lasting 5 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at LYBE Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport was made from the southeast, heading 302.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,197 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 193 meters and a touchdown speed of 64 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -421 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions were the same as before, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,020 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 4 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 153 nautical miles, and the flight took 65 minutes, using 211 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (LYBE) on runway 30, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,197 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 65 knots. The touchdown distance of 193 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable approach and landing configuration.
However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, at -421 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a slightly gentler touchdown, but it did not compromise the overall safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 2,020 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown on the runway.
