Flight Score
Departure
Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 1.3 g.
What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 1.3 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.
Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Lower the nosewheel smoothly and apply braking evenly after touchdown, avoiding abrupt pitch or brake inputs that spike g force.
What happened: The rollout average g force measured 0.8 g, well outside a smooth deceleration.
Watch for: Watch the g meter through rollout, keeping it steady near one g rather than spiking to 0.8 g.
See Arrival Rollout
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.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 3.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° 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 1,866 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 250 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed EGPE Inverness Airport on runway 23, executing a departure roll of 657 m which represented 35 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 88 kt. Ambient conditions at the time were a temperature of 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the approach the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 23 seconds. The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg also spanned less than 1 nm, completed in 15 seconds. The downwind turn was 1 nm long with a 71.5° angle to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm flown in 48 seconds. The base turn covered 1 nm at a 43.7° angle, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 21 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm and took 28 seconds. On final approach the aircraft descended from 354 ft AGL to 45 ft AGL in 46 seconds and met the stabilisation gates.
Landing was performed on runway 23, whose total length is 1,866 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 75 kt. Touchdown occurred 248 m down the runway at a speed of 68 kt with a vertical rate of minus 184 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the centreline. Weather at landing was a temperature of 20 °C, wind 3 kt from 223°, with no cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The total landing distance measured 560 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
Overall, the flight covered 8 nm, required 5 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was conducted with a descent from 354 ft agl to 45 ft agl over 46 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft achieved a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 75 kt.
Touchdown occurred 248 m down the runway at a speed of 68 kt, a vertical rate of minus 184 fpm, and the touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout maintained perfect runway alignment, with a total landing distance of 560 m, representing 30 % of the 1 866 m runway.
Maintain the excellent alignment and refine the vertical profile to keep the descent rate steady, ensuring the touchdown point remains close to the 300 m aim point for continued high-scoring landings.
