Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.1°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline and 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 1,954 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 13 at EGOV Anglesey Airport. The takeoff distance was 433 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Rhosneigr, a location on the island of Anglesey in Wales. The climb began at an altitude of 432 feet above sea level and increased to 2,439 feet, a rise of 2,007 feet, in just 3 minutes while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Pentraeth, another location on Anglesey. This cruise phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent overhead EGNJ Humberside Airport, located in North Lincolnshire, England. The descent started at an altitude of 2,548 feet above sea level and decreased to 257 feet, a drop of 2,291 feet, in just 3 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20 at EGNJ Humberside Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 203.0 degrees at an altitude of 161 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 20 was successful, with the touchdown distance being 362 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 45 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 151 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 45 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGNJ Humberside Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 203.0° at 0 nm and 161 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 49 kt, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly cautious during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 362 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 45 kt was also within acceptable limits.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -88 fpm. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down smoothly, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft or injury to the occupants. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline, but this was not a significant issue.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 15 °C. This suggests that the pilot had good visibility and control of the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 568 m was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively, resulting in a smooth and safe landing.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, this was a well-executed landing, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
