Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 19°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 55 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 55 ft, 10 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,871 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,718 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a P180 aircraft, with a departure from Gillespie Field (KSEE) on runway 27R. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll, taking off from the runway with a takeoff distance of 1,612 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 116 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 228°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Santee, California, and ascending from an altitude of 960 feet above sea level to 2,563 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,602 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, starting 1 mile west of La Mesa, California. The final approach to runway 27 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) was conducted from the east, with a heading of 283.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,652 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at KSAN was successful, with a touchdown point located 678 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was recorded at 94 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -1 foot per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 265°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,370 feet, accounting for 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes, with no fuel consumption recorded.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 27. The final approach was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 283.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,652 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, achieving a good threshold height and maintaining a steady speed of 120 knots as they approached the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 678 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 94 knots was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -1 foot per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from 265°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 3,370 feet was 49% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 93.0% indicating a high level of proficiency and skill.
