Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Select landing flap before the stabilisation gate so it is configured on every approach.
What happened: Landing flap was not set at the stabilisation gate.
Watch for: Flap indicator: landing flap selected before the gate
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,970 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at EGCJ Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Takeoff was executed on runway 28L, using 416 m of runway which represented 68 % of the available length. Liftoff occurred at 60 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, giving a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile west of Sherburn-In-Elmet, with the aircraft ascending from 1,156 ft asl to 1,603 ft asl - a gain of 447 ft - in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
Cruise began overhead EGGF Garforth Airstrip and was maintained for 5 minutes, during which 9 nm were flown.
The final approach to runway 32 at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport was flown from the south-east, on a heading of 317.0° at 4 nm and 743 ft agl.
Landing on runway 32, whose length is 1,970 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 69 kt. Touchdown occurred 274 m down the runway at 59 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 204 fpm and very good alignment. Weather at the time was 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, providing a headwind component of 1 kt and a cross-wind of 1 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 742 m, representing 38 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 18 nm, took 11 minutes, and consumed 6 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 32 at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 317.0° at 4 nm and 743 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1 000 ft gate because the flaps were not set. Local weather was 16 °C with wind 1 kt from 269°, giving a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt. The overall landing score was 97.4 %.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was well above target at 69 kt and the threshold height was reported as good. The lack of flap deployment contributed to the high speed, but the aircraft remained aligned for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 274 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 59 kt described as a little fast. The vertical rate was fair at minus 204 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 742 m, representing 38 % of the 1 970 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
Set the appropriate flap configuration earlier in the approach to achieve the target threshold speed and reduce the excess speed at touchdown. Maintain a stabilized approach profile to keep speed and configuration within expected limits while preserving the strong alignment already demonstrated.
