Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth, coordinated aileron inputs to keep the wings level during the climb.
What happened: Bank angle increased during the second climb stage, excessive for a wings-level climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator and keep bank angle near zero.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 39 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 40 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 9.6° off, against a 1° limit, wings 24° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 70 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 663 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk departed from runway 33 at OEDM King Salman Abdulaziz Airport, using a take-off roll of 634 m which represented 21 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 56 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead OEDM King Salman Abdulaziz Airport Dawadmi (Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia). The aircraft ascended from 3,179 ft asl to 6,119 ft asl, gaining 2,940 ft in 6 minutes while covering 10 nm.
Level cruise began 10 miles east of OEDM King Salman Abdulaziz Airport Dawadmi and continued for 24 minutes, during which 50 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated 12 miles east of OEPF Pump Station 6 Airport (Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia). The aircraft descended from 6,406 ft asl to 2,615 ft asl, a loss of 3,791 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 8 nm.
Final approach to the landing ground, located 19 miles east of OEPF Pump Station 6, was flown from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 102 ft agl. During the approach the aircraft reduced altitude from 45 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 45 ft in 17 seconds.
Touchdown occurred at the same site with a speed of 52 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 135 fpm. The touchdown point was measured 224 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. Local weather at landing was a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 0 kt and tail-wind 2 kt.
The landing rollout covered a distance of 203 m while the aircraft remained at an altitude of 2,513 ft asl.
In total the flight covered 69 nm, took 35 minutes, and used 21 kg of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk conducted its final approach to the landing ground 19 miles east of OEPF Pump Station 6 Airport Pump Station 6 in the Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia, flying from 1 nm to 1 nm at 102 ft agl. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 0 kt and tail-wind 2 kt.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft descended from 45 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 45 ft achieved in 17 seconds.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 52 kt, a smooth vertical rate of minus 135 fpm, and the touchdown point was 224 m beyond the touchdown zone.
The rollout was recorded at an altitude of 2,513 ft asl and covered a distance of 203 m.
With a final score of 75.1 % the primary area for refinement is the touchdown point, which was significantly beyond the intended zone; adjusting flare timing to achieve the aim point approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) in will bring the touchdown location within limits. Maintaining the current approach speed and vertical profile will support a more accurate touchdown while preserving the overall good performance.
