Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
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 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 12R at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,395 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 26,387 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,003 feet from the initial altitude of 1,384 feet above sea level. This climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of the Griffin Airport in Illinois, and lasted for 105 minutes, covering a distance of 474 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 24,997 feet above sea level to 2,685 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,312 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south east of the Gamble Field Airport in Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 2,694 feet above sea level to 1,882 feet above sea level, a decrease of 812 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 5 miles north east of Milton, Ontario, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport from the south west, heading at 49.0° at an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 78 knots, a touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute, and a touchdown distance of 422 meters. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -13°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 329°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 689 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 606 nautical miles, taking 152 minutes, and the aircraft used 406 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) on runway 05. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency, achieving a score of 96.9% for the landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 78 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 85 kt. The touchdown distance of 422 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and control.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 3.7 meters off-center. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -13°C and a wind speed of 13 kt from a direction of 329°. The crosswind component was 13 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt.
The total landing distance of 689 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the amount of runway required to come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency. The minor deviation from the centerline was the only notable issue, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.
