Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below 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 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 371 m 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado PA44, was then cleared for departure from runway 13 at LOIJ Sankt Johann Airfield. The takeoff distance was 439 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 262°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southeast of LOIJ Sankt Johann Airfield. The climb was from an initial altitude of 3,342 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 6,818 feet, representing an increase of 3,476 feet in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 1 mile northwest of Sankt Johann in Tirol, Austria.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Jenbach, Austria, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 6,698 feet to 2,858 feet, representing a decrease of 3,840 feet in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Mils bei Solbad Hall, Austria.
The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 269.0° at an altitude of 654 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 1,891 meters. The threshold speed was 68 knots, and the touchdown speed was 63 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 370 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -43 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 259°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, and the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,027 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 51 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 32 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Carenado PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 654 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 26, which has a length of 1,891 meters.
The pilot maintained a good threshold height, adhering to the standard procedure for landing. The threshold speed of 68 knots was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance was 370 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -43 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 259°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,027 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in controlling the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of the Carenado PA44 aircraft, G-BGCP, at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) was a success, with a score of 99.1%. The pilot's adherence to standard procedures, combined with the favorable weather conditions, resulted in a smooth and controlled landing.
