Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 2.5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.
What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.
Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle
See Arrival Final 4
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 34 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, where the aircraft, a Black Square Starship N45FL, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,030 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed out of Corfu, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the city. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,090 feet above sea level to 31,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,632 feet in just 13 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 4 miles southwest of Kranea, Epirus, Greece. This cruise phase lasted for 48 minutes and covered a distance of 285 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 21 miles southwest of Patmos, South Aegean, Greece. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 31,860 feet above sea level to 3,273 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,586 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead LGRP Diagoras Airport, Rhodes, South Aegean, Greece. This cruise phase lasted for just 5 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 4 miles southeast of Rodos, South Aegean, Greece. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,814 feet above sea level to 1,564 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,250 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up for a final approach to runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport from the east, heading 248.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,547 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 90 knots and a touchdown distance of 315 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking just 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 453 nautical miles, which was covered in 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 496 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at LGRP Diagoras Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 248.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,547 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 90 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly firm at -329 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired.
The landing was made with a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, being 6.3 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 764 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, being 7.9 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown misalignment.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance and speed. However, there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
