Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 52 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 13 at EGOV Anglesey Airport, where the aircraft, an Avro Lancaster LEADER, took off with a takeoff distance of 786 meters, which was 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 715 feet above sea level to 2,122 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,407 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 3 minutes, which covered 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 2,203 feet above sea level to 1,559 feet above sea level, a decrease of 645 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and descents, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 1,097 feet above sea level to 1,844 feet above sea level, an increase of 747 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. Another significant climb phase saw the aircraft rise from 670 feet above sea level to 3,115 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,445 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at EGFD Llandbehr Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 302 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 48 meters and a touchdown speed of 75 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -406 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance was 329 meters, which was 15% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.5 meters from the centreline.
In conclusion, the flight was a complex series of climbs, descents, and level cruises, covering a total distance of 73 nautical miles in 28 minutes. The aircraft used 602 kilograms of fuel during the flight, and the landing was successful, albeit with some minor issues with alignment.
The aircraft, ah-lancaster LEADER, successfully landed at EGFD Llandbehr Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach to runway 35 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0° at 1 nautical mile and 302 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft onto the runway, with a good threshold height and a touchdown speed of 75 kt, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 77 kt.
The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 48 meters. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -406 feet per minute (fpm). Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centreline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. The total landing distance was 329 meters, which is only 15% of the runway length of 2,191 meters.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again found to be misaligned from the centreline, this time by 17.5 meters. This may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Despite these minor issues, the overall performance of the ah-lancaster LEADER was satisfactory, with a high score of 90.2% indicating a successful landing.
