MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 8.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 37 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 37 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 37 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
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.
Touched down 572 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UGGG Lochini took approximately 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 13R, with a takeoff distance of 1,209 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 84 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a 13-knot wind at 160°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 2,451 feet above sea level to 11,491 feet, an increase of 9,039 feet in 7 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. This climb phase was initiated 1 mile south-east of UGTB Tbilisi International Airport. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 4 miles north of Kojori, lasting 16 minutes and covering 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered the enroute descent phase, initiated 9 miles north of Ozurgeti, where it descended from 12,004 feet to 881 feet, a decrease of 11,123 feet in 8 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at UGSB Batumi International Airport was conducted from the east, with a heading of 283.0° at 0 nautical miles and 161 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 2,489-meter runway, with a touchdown point 175 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 72 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, while the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 952 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway. The total flight distance was 185 nautical miles, taking 40 minutes, and the aircraft used 207 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 31 at UGSB Batumi International Airport, a 2,489-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 86 feet above ground level (agl), significantly above the target. However, the threshold speed of 87 knots was only slightly above the target, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft maintained a heading of 283.0° at 0 nautical miles and 161 feet agl during the approach.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown speed of 72 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The touchdown point was 175 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not significantly impact the overall performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a 4-knot headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The rollout phase was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 952 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the overall performance earned the aircraft a score of 79.7%.
