Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 0.3 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.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,472 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,472 m of the 3,841 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 266 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Shenyang Taoxian International Airport, the Cessna 208B began its journey with a swift taxiing phase, covering less than 1 nautical mile in under 1 minute. As it reached the runway, it initiated a departure roll on runway 24, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 79 kt. The takeoff distance of 524 meters accounted for only 16% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient performance in the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible headwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,140 ft to 6,613 ft in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted 54 minutes and spanned 159 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a descent, reducing its altitude from 6,827 ft to 2,210 ft in 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 19R at Pyongyang Sunan International Airport, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,469 ft above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 63 kt and a touchdown distance of 264 meters, accounting for only 62% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing phase of 11 minutes and 3 nautical miles, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 207 nautical miles and consuming 290 kg of fuel in the process, with a total flight time of 89 minutes.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 19R at ZKPY Pyongyang Sunan International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,469 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the heading of 181.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a firm rate of descent at -384 feet per minute (fpm), with a speed of 63 knots. The touchdown distance of 264 meters was within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed of 65 knots was well managed. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centreline, which may require attention during future approaches. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the centreline, demonstrating good control and directional stability. The total landing distance of 2,371 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna 208B at ZKPY Pyongyang Sunan International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 96.9%.
