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 6.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.2 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 70 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,644 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport, the Cessna 208B took to the skies from runway 25, utilizing a takeoff distance of 435 meters, which accounted for 15% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 knots, with a local temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from the west.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of Monastir, rising from 699 feet above sea level to 7,909 feet in a mere 7 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching a maximum rate of climb not specified in the report. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 8,011 feet to 3,024 feet in 5 minutes, while covering 15 nautical miles. This descent was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 2,994 feet to 2,071 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered its final approach phase, descending from 2,071 feet to 1,243 feet above ground level, before touching down on runway 29 at Tunis Carthage International Airport. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 62 knots, a touchdown distance of 276 meters, and a firm touchdown rate of -369 feet per minute. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 9 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 81 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 120 kilograms, and a flight time of 44 minutes.
The final approach to runway 29 at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 293.0° at 4 nm and 1,243 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with the aircraft tracking the desired path and maintaining a stable descent. The threshold height at 56 ft agl was slightly above the target, but the pilot's skillful control ensured a smooth transition to the flare.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 62 kt was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 276 m was good. The touchdown rate of -369 fpm was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a smooth landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 706 m, which accounted for 27% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The pilot's skill and experience were evident throughout the landing, resulting in a score of 95.8%. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
