Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.2°, 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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,954 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,954 m of the 3,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Carenado PA44 with registration G-BGCP, then departed from runway 01 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport. The takeoff distance was 363 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 76 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots blowing from 149 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LTBS Dalaman International Airport. The climb took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 946 feet above sea level to 12,332 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,385 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles north-east of Fethiye, a town in the Mugla province of Turkey. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 2 miles south of Kemer, a town in the Antalya province of Turkey. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 12,196 feet above sea level to 1,593 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,604 feet.
The final approach to runway 36C at LTAI Antalya International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 7.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,414 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36C, which had a length of 3,404 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 66 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 413 meters, and the touchdown speed was 61 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -46 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots blowing from 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,852 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 112 nautical miles and took 54 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 41 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at LTAI Antalya International Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 7.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,414 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 36C, which has a length of 3,404 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 66 knots. This indicates that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively, ensuring a smooth landing.
The touchdown distance was also impressive, measuring 413 meters. This is a testament to the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft to a precise point on the runway. The touchdown speed was 61 knots, which is relatively low and indicates a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's rate of descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,852 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's speed and descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was executed with precision and accuracy.
