MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 2.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 112 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 132 kt against the 112 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 827 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 112 kt at the threshold
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 22 kt FAST on the reference speed of 112 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,669 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,669 m of the 1,839 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 827 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EGAA Belfast International Airport, the Skyward C680 D-CAWS began its journey with a taxiing period of 9 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 35, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 1,109 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 128 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a 4-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed 144 nautical miles in 24 minutes, ascending from 319 feet above sea level to 42,974 feet. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead EGAA Belfast International Airport, marking the beginning of the level cruise phase. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 100 minutes, covering 709 nautical miles, before commencing its descent towards BIEG Egilsstaðir Airport. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 42,974 feet to 3,280 feet in 20 minutes, covering 134 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 was executed from the north-east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 112 knots and a touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute.
The landing distance of 1,585 meters accounted for 86% of the runway length, with the touchdown point located 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period to the parking was a mere 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,007 nautical miles was achieved in 161 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 1,851 kilograms of fuel. The flight concluded with a successful landing at BIEG Egilsstaðir Airport, marking the end of a smooth and efficient journey.
The final approach to runway 21 at BIEG Egilsstaðir Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 204.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,343 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 112 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment.
The total landing distance of 1,585 meters was 86% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.3%. The slight deviation in threshold speed and the relatively long touchdown point were the only notable deviations from the optimal landing parameters.
