Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 4.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.1° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 95 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 79 kt against a target of 96 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 95 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,156 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 49 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft flown on this flight was a Beechcraft Duke. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 9 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles.
The flight departed from runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) with a takeoff distance of 193 meters, representing 6% of the runway's length. The takeoff speed was 89 knots, and the local weather conditions were temperature at 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 24 knots coming from a direction of 30 degrees, resulting in a significant headwind of 24 knots.
Following the departure, the aircraft began climbing from an altitude of 1,290 feet above sea level to 20,731 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,440 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The initial part of the enroute climb started at a location over Spata-Artemida, Attica, Greece, and continued until reaching cruising altitude.
Upon reaching cruise level, the aircraft maintained its altitude for 13 minutes while traveling 56 nautical miles southeast of Ampelakia, Attica, Greece.
Later, the aircraft started its initial descent from 20,216 feet above sea level to 12,088 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,128 feet in 7 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles southwest of Pirgos, Peloponnese, Greece.
Following this initial descent, the aircraft leveled off again and continued in a steady cruise for 7 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles west of Chalandritsa, Western Greece.
Once the aircraft completed this segment of steady climbing, it began a final descent from 12,081 feet above sea level to 1,409 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,672 feet in 7 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles northwest of Manolada, Western Greece.
After reaching this lower altitude, the aircraft leveled off once more and cruised for 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles west of Skala, Ionian Islands, Greece.
The final approach was to runway 32 at Kefallinia Airport (LGKF) from the southeast, flying heading 326.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,407 feet above ground level, and at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon approaching the runway, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, with threshold speed below target at 79 knots. The touchdown distance was 48 meters, touchdown speed at 77 knots was good, and touchdown rate was excellent at -74 feet per minute. Runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the destination airport were temperature 27 degrees Celsius and a wind of 3 knots from a direction of 230 degrees, with no significant crosswind or headwind affecting the landing.
Following a successful landing, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with a total landing distance of 320 meters (15% of the runway's length).
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight distance was 169 nautical miles, and it lasted a total of 59 minutes, consuming approximately 198 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke completed a successful landing at LGKF Kefallinia Airport, with a final score of 97.5%. The pilot expertly maneuvered the aircraft towards the runway, beginning its final approach from the southeast at an altitude of 1,407 feet and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's heading of 326.0° allowed for a precise alignment with the runway, setting up the pilot for a smooth touchdown.
The descent and landing went as planned, with the aircraft touching down at the target speed of 77 kt (142 km/h), slightly below the target threshold speed. This precise control enabled a touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute (ft/min), which is an excellent rate considering the aircraft's mass and runway conditions. Furthermore, the touchdown distance was kept at 48 meters, a significant portion of which was spent on absorbing the impact, indicating a smooth stop.
The crosswind conditions, although present, did not significantly affect the aircraft's alignment, and the runway touchdown alignment was considered very good. With a wind speed of 3 knots at 230°, which translates to a headwind, and a temperature of 27°C, the pilot skillfully handled the aircraft, resulting in a total landing distance of 320 meters, which equates to just 15% of the available runway. The rollout alignment was, likewise, excellent, reflecting the pilot's excellent control and precision throughout the entire landing process.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the Beechcraft Duke's handling characteristics and the skilled pilot behind the controls. The combination of accurate flight planning, precise execution, and situational awareness enabled a safe and efficient landing, resulting in an impressive score of 97.5%.
