Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Side view — the last 1,891 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,891 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 236 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, took off with a takeoff distance of 692 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 79 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Vecses, a town in Pest megye, Hungary. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,333 feet above sea level to 7,416 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was followed by a level cruise that lasted 32 minutes and covered 93 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying over Ocsa, another town in Pest megye, Hungary.
The enroute descent started 3 miles southeast of Janossomorja, a town in Gyor-Moson-Sopron megye, Hungary. The aircraft descended from 7,998 feet to 6,010 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise that started 3 miles southeast of Halbturn, a town in Burgenland, Austria, and lasted 10 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles.
The enroute descent continued, with the aircraft descending from 5,999 feet to 3,106 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles, as it flew over Pamhagen, a town in Burgenland, Austria. Another level cruise started 2 miles southeast of Donnerskirchen, a town in Burgenland, Austria, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead Sommerein, a town in Niederoesterreich, Austria. The aircraft descended from 2,937 feet to 1,976 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) was made from the south, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 344.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,382 feet above ground level.
The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 62 knots and a touchdown distance of 235 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -370 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 178 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 256 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 34, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 344.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,382 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 64 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good touchdown distance of 235 meters, which is a significant achievement considering the runway length of 3,602 meters.
The touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive. This suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant loss of control. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot, and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,788 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the aircraft's performance and control during the landing.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control, precision, and performance throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
