Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 27° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,077 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,077 ft of the 11,471 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,829 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Black Square Starship N45FL, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Once at the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 06, with a takeoff distance of 3,476 feet, which is 30% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 62°F and wind speeds of 10 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 8 knots. After departing from Vnukovo, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,214 feet above sea level to 730 feet above sea level, an increase of 485 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 69.0° at an altitude of 75 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 7 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 06, which has a length of 11,471 feet. The threshold speed was 113 knots, and the touchdown point was 1,437 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 90 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -81 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 59°F and wind speeds of 8 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,784 feet, which is 42% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight used 112 pounds of fuel, taking a total of 8 minutes.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport on runway 06. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at an altitude of 75 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, adhering to the standard approach procedures.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,437 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 90 knots. This slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was impressive, with a descent rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 8 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger at 6 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft responded well to the controls.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 4,784 feet, which accounted for approximately 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had a good feel for the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of Black Square Starship N45FL at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment. The aircraft performed well, and the landing was smooth and controlled.
