Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 68 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 56 kt, 12 kt before the 68 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 68 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 6.3 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 8 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 9.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,544 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 111 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at GE99 Heaven’s Landing Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23 the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 71 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 390 m, which represented 25 % of the runway. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, flying a distance of less than 1 nm in 16 seconds.
Continuing the left-hand pattern, the crosswind leg covered less than 1 nm in 20 seconds.
On the downwind leg the aircraft traveled 2 nm in 73 seconds.
The base-leg turn was executed over a distance of 1 nm with a 45-degree turn angle measured at 12.8 °.
For the final approach the aircraft aligned to heading 222.0°, descending from the north-east toward runway 23 at 0 nm and 162 ft AGL.
Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose length is 1,580 m. The threshold speed was 63 kt, touchdown distance was 158 m, touchdown speed was 54 kt and the touchdown rate was minus 58 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Weather at the time was 31 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 203°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 4 kt.
The rollout extended for a total landing distance of 555 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment remained very good.
In total the flight covered 6 nm, took 4 minutes, and consumed 28 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 was flown from the north-east on a heading of 222.0° at 0 nm and 162 ft AGL, with a temperature of 31 °C, wind 5 kt from 203°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind component.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 63 kt.
Touchdown occurred 158 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt, with an excellent touchdown rate of minus 58 fpm and very good runway touchdown alignment.
The rollout was very good in alignment, covering a total landing distance of 555 m, which is 35 % of the 1,580 m runway.
With a final score of 98.7 %, the performance was strong; a minor refinement is to keep the touchdown point consistently near the aim point to preserve the low runway usage, and to verify flare height to maintain the excellent rate of descent.
