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 2.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and 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 1,732 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 56 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,025 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 87 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 279 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,912 feet above sea level to 8,923 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,010 feet in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile north of Birgitz, a town in the Tirol region of Austria. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 36 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile, as it flew overhead Gries im Sellrain, another town in the Tirol region.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 8,923 feet above sea level to 16,230 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,308 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This climb phase started overhead Gries im Sellrain. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles, as it flew 4 miles east of Umhausen, a town in the Tirol region.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 4 miles southeast of Serfaus, a town in the Tirol region, and descended from 16,235 feet above sea level to 13,648 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,587 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, as it flew overhead Ramosch, a town in the Kanton Graubunden region of Switzerland.
The aircraft then began another descent phase, this time from 13,361 feet above sea level to 12,405 feet above sea level, a decrease of 956 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, as it flew overhead Tarasp, a town in the Kanton Graubunden region. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, as it flew 3 miles southwest of Ardez, a town in the Kanton Graubunden region.
As the aircraft continued its descent, it started from 1 mile northeast of Zernez, a town in the Kanton Graubunden region, and descended from 12,356 feet above sea level to 6,067 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,289 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at LSZS Samedan Airport, flying from the northeast at a heading of 208.0 degrees and at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 477 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 21 at LSZS Samedan Airport, which had a length of 1,732 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 75 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 55 meters, and the touchdown speed was good at 73 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0
The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at LSZS Samedan Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 208.0° at 2 nautical miles and 477 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 1,732 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 75 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 55 meters, and the touchdown speed of 73 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 565 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to the slight deviation in the touchdown position or a slight drift during the rollout. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing.
