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 6.2 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 6.2 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
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 245 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 397 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX), with a takeoff distance of 707 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 127 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 10°C and wind speeds of 23 knots at 189°. The crosswind was 22 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. After departing from East Midlands Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kegworth in Leicestershire, England. The climb took 10 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,241 feet above sea level to 29,472 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north-east of Littleborough in the Borough of Rochdale, England. This cruise lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Greystoke in Cumbria, England. The descent took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 29,271 feet above sea level to 2,449 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
After the enroute descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. This cruise lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at Glasgow International Airport (EGPF), approaching from the north-east with a heading of 227.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 at EGPF was successful, with a touchdown distance of 397 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 118 knots, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 114 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C and wind speeds of 18 knots at 190°, with a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 226 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 689 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at EGPF Glasgow International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, aligning with the runway 23 heading of 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 118 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 1,055 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, minimizing the aircraft's energy and resulting in a shorter landing distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway.
