Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 118 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 113 kt against a VREF of 118 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 118 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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.
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 500 ft gate: speed 17 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,542 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,542 m of the 3,356 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Memphis International Airport (KMEM), the aircraft began its journey down runway 36L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 131 kt after a takeoff distance of 911 m, which covered 32% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24 °C, with a gentle wind of 4 kt blowing from 250°.
As the aircraft climbed away from KMEM, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 11,149 ft asl after an increase of 9,844 ft in just 5 minutes. This climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nm, before the aircraft began another ascent, this time reaching a cruising altitude of 44,161 ft asl after a climb of 32,810 ft in 19 minutes. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise, lasting 60 minutes and covering 484 nm, before commencing its descent towards Grand Bahama International Airport (MYGF). The final descent phase saw the aircraft lose 43,601 ft in altitude in 25 minutes, before making a smooth touchdown on runway 06 at MYGF.
The landing was characterized by a threshold speed slightly above target at 113 kt, and a touchdown distance of 400 m, which was well within the available runway length of 3,347 m. The touchdown speed of 104 kt and the touchdown rate of -55 fpm were both excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a taxiing period of 6 minutes, the aircraft came to rest in the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 805 nm and consuming 1,729 kg of fuel in the process.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06 at MYGF Grand Bahama International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 113 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 400 m was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 104 kt was also within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -55 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
The aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the minimal crosswind component of 3 kt. The total landing distance of 1,446 m, which accounted for only 43% of the runway length, was a notable achievement.
Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 m from the centreline, the overall performance of the aircraft was still impressive, earning a score of 96.1%. This minor deviation from the centreline was likely due to the pilot's focus on maintaining a stable and controlled touchdown, rather than a deliberate attempt to align with the centreline. Overall, the landing was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience.
