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 1.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 10 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 10 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 10 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
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 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 533 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 05R at LELC San Javier Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 69 kt, covering a distance of 483 m, which was 21% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of LELC San Javier Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 994 ft above sea level to 4,206 ft above sea level, an increase of 3,211 ft, in just 5 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 8 nm.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it leveled off and began its enroute cruise 9 miles east of LELC San Javier Airport. This phase of the flight lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles northwest of Mazarron, descending from 5,100 ft above sea level to 1,725 ft above sea level, a decrease of 3,375 ft, in 7 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at LEMI Región de Murcia International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 49.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,092 ft above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 3,002 m. The threshold height at 90 ft above ground level was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was a little below the target at 53 kt.
The touchdown point was 92 m beyond the touchdown zone, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 52 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
The total landing distance was 926 m, which was 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 61 nm, which was covered in 58 minutes, and the aircraft used 22 kg of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LEMI Región de Murcia International Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.0%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,092 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 92 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 52 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The threshold height at 90 feet agl was significantly above the target, suggesting a slightly higher-than-ideal approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 53 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher-than-ideal approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. This misalignment was also observed during the runway rollout, where the aircraft was 10.1 meters off-centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which likely contributed to the smooth landing performance.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the acceptable speed range. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, which may be addressed through further training and practice. The total landing distance of 926 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
