Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 8.4° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 300 ft gate: wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 779 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 779 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 127 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport. The aircraft, a PC-24 Air Ambulance, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 117 kt. The takeoff distance was 188 m, which accounted for 14% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 15 °C temperature and a wind of 1 kt at 270 °. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a slight tailwind of 1 kt. The enroute climb started overhead Gaissau in Vorarlberg, Austria, where the aircraft began its ascent from 2,332 ft above sea level to 8,001 ft. This climb of 5,669 ft was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nm.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles south east of Tettnang in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nm. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting overhead Ravensburg in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The descent from 8,011 ft to 2,724 ft took 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nm.
The enroute level cruise was resumed 1 mile south east of Attenweiler in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at EDMB Biberach an der Riß Airfield, approaching from the north east at a heading of 222.0 °. The aircraft was at an altitude of 187 ft above ground level and 1 nm from the runway.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the threshold speed being slightly below the target at 109 kt. The touchdown distance was good at 127 m, and the touchdown speed was 106 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth at -118 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270 °.
The total landing distance was 564 m, which accounted for 72% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 43 nm, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used 138 kg of fuel during the flight.
The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at EDMB Biberach an der Riß Airfield, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 222.0° at 1 nautical mile and 187 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 779 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient clearance to safely land the aircraft. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 109 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's cautious approach.
The touchdown distance of 127 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 106 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and avoided any sudden deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The total landing distance of 564 meters was 72% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's deceleration and maintained directional control. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
