Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 71 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 57 kt, 14 kt before the 71 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 71 kt at rotation
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,995 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 229 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Cessna 208B departed runway 04 at KAMA Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, a 621-meter takeoff distance representing 15% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 76 knots, with a local temperature of 16°C and a negligible wind effect.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it ascended from 4,260 feet above sea level to 6,789 feet, a gain of 2,529 feet in just 4 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. This was followed by a 42-minute level cruise at 5 miles north-west of 55T Eagles Aerodrome, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 6,789 feet and covered 124 nautical miles. The flight then entered a series of climbs and descents, with notable ascents from 7,320 feet to 11,082 feet in 3 minutes and from 4,070 feet to 4,998 feet in 2 minutes.
The final approach to runway 35L at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 360.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,431 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 64 knots, a touchdown distance of 222 meters, and a touchdown speed of 62 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -375 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a 5-minute taxi to the parking area, the aircraft completed the flight, covering a total distance of 239 nautical miles and consuming 334 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 35L at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing excellent approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,431 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 360.0°. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a firm touchdown at a speed of 62 knots.
The touchdown was notable for its good alignment with the runway centerline, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path throughout the rollout phase. The touchdown distance of 222 meters was within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed of 64 knots was well within the recommended range. The touchdown rate of -375 feet per minute was firm but not excessive, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a smooth and predictable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was flawless, with perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,101 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, earning a score of 98.4%. The landing was characterized by a high degree of precision, control, and stability, making it a textbook example of a well-executed landing.
