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 1.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to track the centreline.
What happened: The aircraft drifted off the centreline during the landing roll.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings aligned with the runway centreline
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 60 kt, 10 kt below the 70 kt target, and lifted off at 69 kt 4.6 s later, the nose coming up at 1.2° a second.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 296 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 99 m of runway left; then climbing at 660 fpm on average to 296 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 880 m runway.
Rolled from 191 m in, never more than 1.3 m off the centreline. Airborne 68 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 190 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 703 m right of the centreline at 0.9 nm.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −4 kt and +1 kt on the approach speed of 70 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very good landing flare
From 50 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 7 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 880 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 61 ft, 11 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 15 ft. Touched down 388 m in, 83 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 880 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 470 fpm at the flare to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.6° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 880 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 1.7 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 388 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.23 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 26 at EGHP Popham Airfield and commenced the departure roll. The take-off run consumed 614 m, representing 70 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 69 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 269° at 2 kt; the cross-wind component was zero and the head-wind component was 2 kt.
Climb began directly overhead EGHP, with the airplane accelerating from 827 ft asl to 1 039 ft asl, an altitude gain of 212 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 1 nm.
Level cruise was established one mile west of EGHP and persisted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 6 nm at a constant altitude.
A go-around was executed on runway 26 at EGHP when the aircraft was at 0 ft agl, prompting a climb away from the approach path before a subsequent attempt.
During the final approach to runway 26, the descent proceeded from 506 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 47 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing occurred on runway 26, whose total length is 880 m. The threshold height of 61 ft agl was above the target, while the threshold speed of 69 kt was slightly below the target. Touchdown was recorded 317 m down the runway at a speed of 53 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 233 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was very good. Weather remained 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 471 m, equivalent to 53 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
In summary, the flight covered 32 nm, consumed 0 kg of fuel, and the available segment times total approximately 4 minutes 47 seconds; a complete flight-time figure was not provided.
