Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 28 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 28 ft, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.5 ft, 4.7 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,994 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,096 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 24 at Bradley International Airport (KBDL) in Hartford, Connecticut. The takeoff distance was 6,066 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 46°F and winds of 7 knots at 175°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was also 5 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it began to ascend from an altitude of 1,191 feet above sea level to 33,728 feet, an increase of 32,537 feet in just 17 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Galway Airport in New York. This phase lasted for 387 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 220 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Niagara Falls in New York. The descent from 33,986 feet to 2,735 feet took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 4 miles south of Brampton in Ontario, Canada. This phase lasted for just 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles west of Humber Summit in Ontario. The descent from 2,661 feet to 1,992 feet took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northwest of Humber Summit in Ontario. This phase lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24L at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ). The approach was made from the northeast, heading 226.0° at an altitude of 1,341 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 133 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,095 feet, which was within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°F and winds of 6 knots at 308°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 3,220 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 449 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,865 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed on runway 24L at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) with a score of 95.0%. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,341 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 1,095 feet, and the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the desired range. The touchdown rate was firm at -393 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 23 feet off the centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 308°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
The total landing distance of 3,220 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without incident. The minor deviation in touchdown position and the slight crosswind may have contributed to the 95.0% score, but the overall performance was satisfactory.
