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 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,842 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 721 m past the threshold — beyond 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 05R at McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) in Alcoa, Tennessee. The takeoff distance was 978 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 131 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind of 7 knots at 29°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KTYS, where the aircraft ascended from 1,981 feet above sea level to 17,034 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,054 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 11 miles northwest of Bryson City, North Carolina, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb 2 miles south of Sossamon Field in Bryson City, ascending from 17,065 feet to 20,131 feet, an increase of 3,067 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 5 miles east of Franklin, North Carolina, and lasted for 39 minutes, covering 284 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 5 miles southeast of Lyons, Georgia, descending from 20,463 feet to 5,066 feet, a decrease of 15,397 feet in 8 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles southeast of Camp Oliver AAF in Georgia and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 7 miles north of Fort Stewart, Georgia, descending from 4,920 feet to 2,462 feet, a decrease of 2,458 feet in 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles northwest of Richmond Hill, Georgia, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 3 miles northeast of Savannah, Georgia, descending from 1,808 feet to 1,284 feet, a decrease of 524 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV) was made from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 2,842 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 300 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 29°C temperature and a wind of 22 knots at 250°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 20 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,390 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 448 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 1,004 kilograms of fuel during the
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at KSAV Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 28, which has a length of 2,842 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 137 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 300 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to make a more precise approach. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also faster than ideal, which could have been due to the high threshold speed.
The touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 22 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 20 knots, which would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach. The total landing distance was 1,390 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it could have been achieved with a more precise approach and a slower touchdown speed.
During the rollout, the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to make a more precise turn-off. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway alignment.
