Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 69 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 25 kt fast at 94 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 69 kt in the climb
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 61 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 45 kt against a target of 61 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 61 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,660 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessila 152 taxied onto runway 31 at FJDG Diego Garcia Naval Support Facility and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a take-off run of 785 m, representing 21 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 61 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind.
Level cruise began overhead the airport and was maintained for 7 minutes, during which the airplane covered 9 nm at cruise altitude.
During the final descent the aircraft reduced altitude from 430 ft agl to 41 ft agl in 147 seconds, meeting the stabilisation-gate criteria. At this stage the weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt tail-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind.
The final approach was executed to runway 13. The descent profile and approach alignment were maintained as described, preparing the aircraft for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred on runway 13, whose length is 3 660 m. The threshold speed was 45 kt, well below the target, and the aircraft touched down at 39 kt after traveling 478 m. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 71 fpm and the touchdown point was 3.7 m off the centreline. The total landing roll measured 922 m, equivalent to 25 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
Runway rollout proceeded without deviation, confirming the very good alignment noted at touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 14 nm, required 14 minutes of flight time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
