MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 83 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 275 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,779 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 440 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tunis Carthage International Airport, the Cessna 208B began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. With a local temperature of 19°C and a wind of 20 knots at 110°, the aircraft took off from runway 11, utilizing 567 meters or 21% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 100 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the air.
As the aircraft climbed to 8,177 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 20 nautical miles in 8 minutes, demonstrating a notable rate of ascent. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, including a 2-minute period at 8,627 feet above sea level, 4 miles northeast of El Battan, and a 472-minute cruise at 11,728 feet above sea level, 13 miles northwest of Medjez el Bab. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 11,728 feet to 2,588 feet above sea level in 8 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at Chlef Aboubakr Belkaid International Airport was executed from the west, with a heading of 77.0° at 1 nautical mile and 600 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 438 meters, which was 23% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 53 knots, and the touchdown rate was -186 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 644 meters, and the aircraft used 323 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, covering a distance of 452 nautical miles in 1 hour and 46 minutes.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 08 at DAOI Chlef Aboubakr Belkaid International Airport, a 2,779-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the west. The aircraft was established on the approach at 1 nautical mile from the threshold and 600 feet above ground level, heading 77.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 67 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 65 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were also good, with a touchdown speed of 53 knots and a touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 438 meters was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21°C and a headwind of 8 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots.
The aircraft's rollout was well-controlled, with a total landing distance of 644 meters, representing 23% of the runway length. The rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 89.0%.
