Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,858 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,620 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Black Square Starship N45FL taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UUWW Vnukovo International Airport, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 3,439 feet, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 109 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 62°F and winds of 7 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Annino in the Moscow Oblast, Russia. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,650 feet above sea level to 34,103 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles south of Drezna in the Moscow Oblast, Russia. This phase of the flight lasted 79 minutes and covered a distance of 366 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 11 miles south of Sengiley in the Ulyanovsk Oblast, Russia. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 33,969 feet to 2,990 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles north of Samara in the Samara Oblast, Russia. This phase of the flight lasted only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 6 miles northwest of UWWS Smyshlyayevka Airport in Samara. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 2,995 feet to 1,564 feet.
The final approach to runway 33 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0° at an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 9,858 feet. The threshold speed was 100 knots, and the touchdown point was 214 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 86 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 26 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and winds of 3 knots at 150°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 4,065 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 496 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 129 minutes. The aircraft used 1,390 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport on runway 33. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 341.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, adhering to the standard threshold height and speed requirements.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 214 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 86 knots. The touchdown rate was impressive, with a perfect rate of 26 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 3 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 4,065 feet, accounting for 41% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft adhering to the standard procedures and requirements. The minor deviations in touchdown position and landing distance were minor and did not compromise the safety of the operation.
