Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 2.4°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 73 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 89 kt, 16 kt above the 73 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 73 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 400 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza taking to the skies. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 269 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots, marking the start of the flight.
As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it began its enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase of the flight started overhead EGPE Inverness Airport, allowing the pilot to assess the local weather conditions. The temperature was a moderate 15 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the flight conditions ideal.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 237.0 degrees. The pilot maintained a safe altitude of 77 feet above ground level as the aircraft descended towards the runway.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 62 knots. The touchdown distance was a respectable 397 meters, and the touchdown rate was an impressive -88 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained precise control throughout the approach.
Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out along the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance was 749 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The pilot's skill and control were evident in the smooth and efficient rollout.
In conclusion, the flight was a success, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the departure, enroute cruise, final approach, and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total flight distance of 3 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 2 kilograms.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 237.0°. At an altitude of 77 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway, the pilot executed a precise final approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 90 knots, which is a testament to the pilot's ability to manage airspeed and maintain control. The touchdown distance of 397 meters was also within acceptable limits, showcasing the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled landing.
The touchdown speed of 62 knots was well within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 749 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and control.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a demonstration of exceptional piloting skills, and the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza performed flawlessly under the pilot's control.
