Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 6.5 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 6.5 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 58 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,489 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 403 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport (UGTB). The takeoff distance was 415 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 88 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 300°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Tbilisi International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,592 feet above sea level to 15,827 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,235 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 7 miles northwest of Kojori, lasting 22 minutes and covering 73 nautical miles.
The first descent of the flight started 2 miles north of Akhaltsikhe, where the aircraft descended from 15,827 feet above sea level to 12,827 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,000 feet in 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 8 miles west of Adigeni, lasting 5 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles. The second descent started 6 miles north of Shuakhevi, where the aircraft descended from 12,834 feet above sea level to 7,054 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,780 feet in 5 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began overhead Tsikhisdziri, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The third descent started 5 miles west of Tsikhisdziri, where the aircraft descended from 7,018 feet above sea level to 1,617 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,401 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 11 miles northwest of Batumi, lasting 5 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final descent started 7 miles northwest of Batumi International Airport, where the aircraft descended from 1,533 feet above sea level to 1,160 feet above sea level, a decrease of 373 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13 at Batumi International Airport, heading 133.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,062 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 403 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 74 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 190°.
The total landing distance was 935 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 174 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 277 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at UGSB Batumi International Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 133.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,062 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13, which has a length of 2,489 meters.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 85 knots. The touchdown distance of 403 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 935 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft in challenging weather conditions.
