Flight Score
Departure
Ease the pitch control smoothly after rotation so g force settles near one g, rather than snatching back pressure in the initial climb.
What happened: Climb 1 was flown with abrupt control inputs that pushed g force to 1.4 g, and flights that start this way usually carry the same handling into Climb 3, where it showed up again at 1 g.
Watch for: G-meter: smooth one g through the climb, with no abrupt spikes.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 6.5 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 13 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,216 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 207 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Santos Dumont Airport (SBRJ) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Phenom 300E aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll on runway 02R commenced at 122 kt, with a takeoff distance of 612 meters, accounting for 47% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 22 °C, with a gentle tailwind of 8 kt at 180 °.
As the aircraft lifted off, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which started overhead SBRJ. The aircraft climbed from 1,038 ft asl to 10,254 ft asl, an increase of 9,216 ft in just 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted 7 minutes and covered 29 nautical miles, 5 miles north-west of Niteroi. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 4 miles south-west of Jacarepaguá - Roberto Marinho Airport (SBJR). The descent from 10,004 ft asl to 2,996 ft asl, a decrease of 7,008 ft in 7 minutes, covered 26 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, with subsequent level cruise phases and descents, before finally beginning its final approach to runway 03 at Fazenda Portobello Airport (SDPA).
The final approach to runway 03 at SDPA was conducted from the south, with a heading of 8.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 ft agl. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 207 meters, accounting for 60% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 97 kt, and the touchdown rate was -170 fpm. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centreline, the overall landing performance was good. The total landing distance was 728 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 86 nautical miles, taking 28 minutes, and the aircraft used 162 kg of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 03 at SDPA Fazenda Portobello Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 102 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 207 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 97 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -170 fpm was within the acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 728 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length, was reasonable. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the initial misalignment at touchdown. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 95.6%.
