Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 89 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 84 kt against a VREF of 89 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 89 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 500 ft gate: speed 11 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 89 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 1,601 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 206 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 the runway, a movement that required 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 17R at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport the aircraft used 314 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and lifted off at 82 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C.
Climb commenced overhead Parkdale, with the airplane ascending from 569 ft asl to 16 001 ft asl - an increase of 15 432 ft - over 13 minutes while traversing 37 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile west of YRID Riddell Airport and persisted for 3 minutes, during which 14 nm were covered.
Descent started 1 mile north of Carlsruhe, descending from 15 999 ft asl to 2 123 ft asl - a loss of 13 876 ft - in 10 minutes and spanning 31 nm.
The final approach to runway 35 at YBDG Bendigo Airport reduced altitude from 1 469 ft agl to 39 ft agl in 145 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 35 at YBDG Bendigo Airport, whose length is 1 601 m, was achieved with a threshold speed of 85 kt, a touchdown distance of 208 m, a touchdown speed of 76 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 166 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance recorded was 392 m, equal to 24 % of the runway, and local temperature was 14 °C.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 88 nm, lasted 36 minutes and consumed 93 kg of fuel.
The approach was made to runway 22 at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport under temperature 15 °C and a wind of 2 kt from 270°, with a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 36 kt.
At touchdown the aircraft landed 138 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 27 kt also good and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 121 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 198 m, representing 22 % of the 906 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline.
Focus on reducing the lateral deviation at touchdown and rollout to bring the touchdown point closer to the centreline, and adjust the approach to achieve the target threshold speed more precisely.
