Departure
Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.
What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,004 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 247 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted on a Britten Norman Maritime Defender aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19L at YBBN Brisbane International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 183 meters, which accounted for 5% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 74 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead YBBN Brisbane International Airport and involved ascending from an altitude of 470 feet above sea level to 1,092 feet above sea level, an increase of 622 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 117 minutes and covered a distance of 159 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile northwest of Pinkenba, a location in the state of Queensland, Australia. The final approach to runway 14 at YBUD Bundaberg Airport was conducted from the northwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 155.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level, and at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 14 at YBUD Bundaberg Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 65 knots and a distance of 246 meters. The touchdown rate was also good, at -196 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots blowing from a direction of 216 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 459 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The post-flight taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 166 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 100 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 115 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Britten Norman Maritime Defender aircraft successfully landed at YBUD Bundaberg Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 155.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 2,004 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 71 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 246 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 65 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 216°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
One minor issue was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 5.1 meters off the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. The total landing distance of 459 meters was only 23% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the aircraft's ability to stop quickly and safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory despite the slight misalignment and slightly low threshold speed.
