Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Ease the pitch and add power earlier on final to arrest the descent rate before reaching the stabilisation gate.
What happened: On the approach, the aircraft's sink rate exceeded the stabilised gate limit, tripping a sink-rate fault at the gate check.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, stabilised descent rate approaching the gate
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,386 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 431 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Phenom 300E taxied to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated through a take-off distance of 813 m, representing 27 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 137 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, providing a 2 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind.
During climb the aircraft passed overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, rising from 970 ft asl to 3 071 ft asl - a gain of 2 101 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.
Level cruise was established one mile south of Dreghorn in North Ayrshire and was maintained for 2 minutes, during which 4 nm were flown.
The descent began two miles south-west of Irvine, also in North Ayrshire, with the aircraft descending from 2 601 ft asl to 881 ft asl - a loss of 1 720 ft - in 2 minutes over a distance of 3 nm.
On final approach to runway 12 at EGPK, the aircraft descended from 1 683 ft agl to 7 ft agl in 115 seconds, meeting the stabilization gate criteria for the approach.
Landing was executed on runway 12, whose length is 2 731 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 108 kt, and touchdown occurred at 94 kt after a distance of 431 m. The vertical speed at touchdown was smooth at minus 122 fpm and alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, giving a 2 kt tail-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind. The total landing distance measured 970 m, equivalent to 36 % of the runway.
Rollout proceeded with perfect runway alignment and the aircraft came to a stop without deviation.
In total the flight covered 18 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
