Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 25 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.9°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to runway 31 at LMML Luqa in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 31, using a takeoff distance of 0 m (0 % of runway) and lifted off at 70 kt; ambient temperature was 29 °C with wind 11 kt from 229°, giving a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb began overhead Luqa, the aircraft ascending from 1,283 ft asl to 2,710 ft asl - a gain of 1,427 ft - in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
A level cruise segment started over Siggiewi, lasting 4 minutes and extending the flight by 4 nm.
The next climb segment occurred over Hal Gharghur, where altitude increased from 2,925 ft asl to 3,089 ft asl (164 ft) in 1 minute, covering 1 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase over Pembroke lasted 10 minutes and added 7 nm to the distance flown.
Climbing again 1 mile south of Dingli, the aircraft rose from 3,115 ft asl to 5,353 ft asl - a gain of 2,238 ft - in 4 minutes, traversing 8 nm.
The following cruise segment was overhead Mellieha, lasting 4 minutes and covering 11 nm.
A further climb began 9 miles south-west of Sannat, with altitude increasing from 5,715 ft asl to 12,104 ft asl (6,389 ft) over 10 minutes and a distance of 26 nm.
Cruise continued 32 miles south-west of San Lawrenz for 14 minutes, during which 40 nm were covered.
Descent commenced 6 miles south-west of Linosa, the aircraft descending from 12,243 ft asl to 1,805 ft asl - a loss of 10,438 ft - in 6 minutes while covering 17 nm.
The final approach to runway 26 at LICD Lampedusa was flown from the east, on a heading of 260.0° at 3 nm and 1,048 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26, which is 1,796 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 73 kt; touchdown occurred at 60 kt, 436 m down the runway, with a vertical speed of minus 96 fpm and perfect alignment. Local conditions were 28 °C, wind 6 kt from 339° (cross-wind 6 kt, head-wind 1 kt). Total landing distance was 927 m, representing 52 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 121 nm, took 53 minutes, and consumed 194 kg of fuel.
The Cessna Grand Caravan successfully landed at Lampedusa International Airport (LICD) on runway 26, achieving a high score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,048 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady course and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a smooth and safe landing. The threshold speed of 73 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and control its descent.
The total landing distance of 927 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and executed landing, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's characteristics. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a safe and stable stop.
Overall, this landing demonstrates the pilot's expertise and skill in operating the Cessna Grand Caravan, as well as their ability to adapt to the specific conditions of the runway and the aircraft's performance. The high score achieved is a testament to the pilot's professionalism and attention to detail, and highlights the importance of precise and controlled flight maneuvers in ensuring safe and successful landings.
