Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 22 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 22 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 36 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 36 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 36 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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: 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: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,924 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,924 m of the 2,270 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,054 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 08 at Owen Roberts International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,871 meters, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 26 knots at 120°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 18 knots. After departing the airport, the enroute climb started 2 miles east of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,015 feet above sea level to 2,498 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,483 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles north of Bodden Town and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles west of Bodden Town, descending from 2,282 feet above sea level to 1,571 feet above sea level, a decrease of 711 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Bodden Town and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Owen Roberts International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 76.0° at 2 nautical miles and 798 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 was made with a runway length of 2,270 meters. However, the threshold height was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was too high at 113 knots.
The touchdown point was 621 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 89 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions during landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 360°, with a crosswind component of 24 knots and a headwind component of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,825 meters, which accounted for 80% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, taking 19 minutes, and the aircraft used -325 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a M500, has completed a landing at Owen Roberts International Airport, with a score of 69.8%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 76.0° at 2 nautical miles and 798 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully landed on runway 08, which has a length of 2,270 meters.
However, there were several areas of concern during the landing. The threshold height at 220 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 113 knots, which could have contributed to the aircraft's excessive altitude. Furthermore, the touchdown point was 621 meters beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting that the aircraft may have been too far down the runway.
The touchdown speed of 89 knots was also faster than desired, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. On the other hand, the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute, indicating that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 25 knots from 360°. The crosswind component was 24 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the aircraft's misaligned touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance was 1,825 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, suggesting that the aircraft may have been traveling too fast or had a high sink rate during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centerline, which could have made the aircraft more difficult to control during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the aircraft successfully landed on the runway, there were several areas of concern that need to be addressed to improve the landing performance. These include reducing the threshold speed, improving the threshold height, and reducing the touchdown speed. Additionally, the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase needs to be improved to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
