Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 19°, 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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,879 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG), the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took approximately one minute and covered less than one nautical mile. With the runway 04 cleared for departure, the aircraft initiated its takeoff roll, covering a distance of 449 meters, which represented 13% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 139 knots, taking advantage of the favorable headwind conditions, which were 5 knots at a direction of 69 degrees. The local temperature was 15 degrees Celsius, and the wind was relatively light, with a speed of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed over Le Grand-Saconnex, marking the beginning of the enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,028 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 32,004 feet, a vertical increase of 29,976 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase over Zimmerwald, the aircraft began its descent from 32,007 feet to 2,701 feet, a decrease of 29,305 feet, in 12 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles. The descent phase was initiated over Beinwil, and the aircraft eventually began its final approach to runway 06 at Friedrichshafen Airport (EDNY), aligning itself with the runway from the southwest at a heading of 60.0 degrees.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06 at a speed of 118 knots, slightly above the target speed, and covered a touchdown distance of 470 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 6.5 meters off the centerline. The aircraft's landing performance was further evaluated, with a touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute and a total landing distance of 1,140 meters, representing 61% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately one minute and covered less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance was 170 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 536 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 36 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, successfully completed a final approach to runway 06 at EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport from the south west, aligning with the heading of 60.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 129 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a touchdown distance of 470 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind of 13 knots at 40°, contributed to a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,140 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing performance of C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 98.1%.
