Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 4.6 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.7°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 runway's 3° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 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 to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Carenado PA44, was then cleared for departure from runway 36C at LTAI Antalya International Airport. The takeoff distance was 358 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 314 degrees.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LTAI Antalya International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,177 feet above sea level to 7,099 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,921 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The climb was a steep and efficient one, showcasing the capabilities of the aircraft.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Belek, Antalya, Turkey. This phase lasted for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 56 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a stable and efficient one, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles north of Mahmutlar, Antalya, Turkey. The descent was from an altitude of 6,577 feet above sea level to 1,399 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,178 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The descent was a controlled and efficient one, showcasing the aircraft's ability to navigate complex terrain.
After the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport. This phase lasted for just 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport was then initiated, with the aircraft heading 91.0 degrees at an altitude of 377 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 08 was a successful one, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 63 knots and a touchdown rate of 56 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 419 meters, which was a good distance considering the runway length of 1,998 meters. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,056 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway.
Finally, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 87 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 42 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Carenado PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 377 feet above ground level.
The pilot's final approach to runway 08 was executed with precision, achieving a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 72 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 63 knots, and the touchdown rate of 56 feet per minute was perfect, signifying a gentle and stable landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 6.6 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing, as the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,056 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a reasonable and acceptable distance for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown position. Nevertheless, the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the successful execution of the landing, resulting in a score of 98.0%.
