Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,083 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Aermacchi MB-339PAN Frecce Tricolori aircraft departed from runway 30 at Mojave Airport (KMHV) with a takeoff distance of 2,169 feet, which is 20% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 132 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 269°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile north of Mojave and reached an altitude of 6,345 feet above sea level, increasing by 2,491 feet in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The climb was a steep and efficient one, showcasing the capabilities of the Aermacchi MB-339PAN.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its descent 2 miles south of the Alta Wind Energy Center (TV01). The descent was from 6,373 feet to 2,931 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,442 feet in 3 minutes while covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This descent was also a smooth and controlled one, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to navigate various flight phases.
The final approach to runway 30 at KMHV was made from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 1 nautical mile and 130 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, touching down 698 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 108 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -35 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 31 feet from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft using 91 pounds of fuel for the entire flight.
The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, taking approximately 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft's performance was impressive, showcasing its capabilities in various flight phases, from takeoff to landing.
The Aermacchi MB-339PAN Frecce Tricolori aircraft successfully landed at KMHV Mojave Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the south east, heading 315.0° at 1 nm and 130 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady descent, adhering to the standard threshold height and speed requirements.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 698 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 108 kt. The touchdown rate was impressive, with a perfect rate of -35 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 28 ft from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62 °F and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 kt each, which contributed to a smooth landing. The total landing distance of 4,061 ft was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 31 ft from the centreline. Despite this minor issue, the overall landing performance of the Aermacchi MB-339PAN Frecce Tricolori was commendable, with a high score and a safe, controlled touchdown.
