Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 691 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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: speed 37 kt FAST on the reference speed of 132 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 132 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,793 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 07 at LICJ Falcone-Borsellino Airport in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 07, the takeoff run measured 2,063 m, representing 65 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 168 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 31 °C, wind from 19° at 9 kt, with a cross-wind component of 7 kt and a head-wind component of 6 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of LICJ, with the aircraft ascending from 960 ft asl to 38,001 ft asl, a gain of 37,041 ft in 21 minutes while covering 130 nm.
The level cruise segment began 74 miles east of LIYY Aviosuperficie Privata Avielsar Villaputzu and continued for 120 minutes, during which 855 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated overhead Plaudren (Bretagne, France), descending from 37,788 ft asl to 1,642 ft asl, a loss of 36,146 ft in 22 minutes and traversing 114 nm.
Final approach to runway 25L at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 251.0° at 4 nm and 1,323 ft agl. The final segment reduced altitude from 1,377 ft agl to 80 ft agl in 96 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25L, whose length is 2,793 m, was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 134 kt. Touchdown occurred 357 m down the runway at 129 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 313 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather at the time was 16 °C, wind from 310° at 6 kt, cross-wind 5 kt and head-wind 3 kt.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,058 m, equivalent to 38 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 1,113 nm, taking 173, and consumed 3,203 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 25L at LFRB Brest Bretagne Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 251.0° at 4 nm and 1,323 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being more than 20 kt above VREF, and the descent from 1,377 ft agl to 80 ft agl was completed in 96 seconds, with the flight scored on the stabilisation gates.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 134 kt.
Touchdown occurred 357 m down the runway, a good distance, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 313 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather was 16 °C with wind 6 kt from 310°, giving a 5 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
The total landing distance was 1,058 m, representing 38 % of the 2,793 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To improve the 74 % score, focus on achieving a stabilised approach within VREF limits to eliminate the excess speed at the 1,000 ft gate, and manage speed and flare timing to reduce touchdown speed and soften the touchdown rate.
