Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,683 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 691 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at UASZ Zaysan Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, took off with a takeoff distance of 738 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 267 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 18 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,926 feet above sea level to 35,749 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,823 feet in just 13 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile north of Zaysan, East Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 21 miles northwest of ZWKN Burqin Kanas Airport, Burqin, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. This cruise phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 276 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 35,445 feet above sea level to 27,372 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,073 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This descent was initiated 23 miles east of Chadan, Respublika Tyva, Russia. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 16 miles southwest of Shagonar, Respublika Tyva, Russia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 25,602 feet above sea level to 19,606 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,996 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This descent was initiated 5 miles northwest of Shagonar, Respublika Tyva, Russia. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles northeast of Shagonar, Respublika Tyva, Russia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 19,232 feet above sea level to 4,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,156 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This descent was initiated 14 miles southwest of Turan, Respublika Tyva, Russia. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles west of UNKY Kyzyl Airport, Kyzyl, Respublika Tyva, Russia, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at UNKY Kyzyl Airport was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 52.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,463 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the touchdown point being 264 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 94 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -157 feet per minute, which was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 346 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 923 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at UNKY Kyzyl Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 52.0°, approximately 4 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 1,463 feet above ground level.
Upon reaching the runway, the pilot executed a smooth touchdown, achieving a threshold speed of 111 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown point was located 264 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was also deemed good, and the rate of descent at -157 feet per minute was within acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 346°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway length of 2,683 meters provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 923 meters, accounting for 34% of the runway.
The landing was further marked by a perfect runway rollout alignment, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the Cessna Longitude's performance during this landing was impressive, with a score of 94.0% reflecting the high level of skill and precision demonstrated by the pilot.
