Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 0.3 ft, 11 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.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 157 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD), the Cessna 208B initiated its departure roll on runway 14L, covering a distance of 579 meters, which represented 19% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 80 knots, taking advantage of the favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 2,842 feet above sea level to 6,771 feet, a gain of 3,928 feet in just 4 minutes, while covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 6,771 feet for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then resumed its climb, this time from 6,959 feet to 12,920 feet, a gain of 5,961 feet in 9 minutes, while covering 24 nautical miles. The flight continued with a series of level cruise and climb phases, with the aircraft eventually beginning its descent from 13,001 feet to 7,077 feet, a decrease of 5,924 feet in 3 minutes, while covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (LEAL) was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 100.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 64 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 154 meters. The total landing distance was 1,259 meters, representing 42% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 229 nautical miles, with a flight time of 95 minutes and a fuel consumption of 314 kilograms.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 10 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,314 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 100.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the touchdown phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a speed of 64 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 154 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable approach. However, the touchdown rate of -472 feet per minute (fpm) was slightly hard, suggesting a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,259 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna 208B was satisfactory, with a final score of 97.3%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 kt from 269°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
