Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 139 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 39 kt fast at 178 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 139 kt in the climb
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 2.3° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 574 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR-72 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway at Graz (LOWG) in eight minutes, covering approximately one nautical mile before lining up on runway 16C.
During the departure roll the aircraft accelerated along runway 16C, using 994 m of runway - 36 % of its length - and lifted off at 122 kt; ambient temperature was 30 °C with a 4 kt wind from 176°, providing a 4 kt headwind and zero cross-wind component.
The initial climb began over Wundschuh, Austria, climbing from 2,033 ft asl to 15,979 ft asl, an altitude gain of 13,946 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 43 nm.
A level cruise segment started four miles west of Crna na Koroskem, Slovenia, lasting ten minutes and extending the flight by 41 nm.
The first descent commenced over Laze, Slovenia, descending from 16,001 ft asl to 13,295 ft asl - a loss of 2,706 ft - in three minutes and covering 14 nm.
A subsequent climb started one mile south-west of Zagorje, Slovenia, raising the aircraft from 13,432 ft asl to 14,591 ft asl, an increase of 1,159 ft achieved in two minutes over a distance of five nautical miles.
The next cruise phase began overhead Podgrad, Ilirska Bistrica, Slovenia, lasting two minutes and adding five nautical miles to the track.
A descent followed four miles south-west of Rupa, Croatia, dropping from 14,892 ft asl to 8,252 ft asl - a reduction of 6,640 ft - in eight minutes while traversing 39 nm.
A brief cruise segment then started nine miles south-west of Hreljin Ogulinski, Croatia, lasting three minutes and covering 13 nm.
The final descent began two miles north-east of Senj, Croatia, descending from 8,010 ft asl to 1,614 ft asl, a loss of 6,396 ft in five minutes and spanning 17 nm.
On final approach to runway 32 at Rijeka (LDRI) the aircraft approached from the south-east on a heading of 320.0°, intercepting the glide path at four nautical miles out and 1,342 ft agl.
Landing on runway 32 was executed with a threshold speed of 119 kt; touchdown occurred 147 m beyond the touchdown zone at 106 kt with a vertical speed of minus 238 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway. Local conditions were 27 °C, wind 6 kt from 340°, giving a 5 kt headwind and 2 kt cross-wind. The total landing roll measured 874 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in two minutes, covering less than one nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered 188 nm, lasted 59 minutes, and consumed 807 kg of fuel.
The ATR-72 approached runway 32 at LDRI Rijeka Airport from the south-east on a heading of 320.0° at 4 nm and 1,342 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above target at 119 kt, indicating a higher than intended approach speed.
Touchdown occurred 147 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 106 kt was a little fast and the touchdown rate was fair at -238 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 874 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather was 27 °C with wind 6 kt from 340°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
With a final score of 97.1 % the landing was strong; refining speed control to meet the target approach speed and adjusting the touchdown point to land nearer the designated zone will tighten performance further.
