Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 8.2 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 107 kt with 3.0° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 956 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 358 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,020 fpm on average to 956 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 1,501 m runway.
Rolled from 50 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.1 m left. Airborne 53 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 99 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 1.3 nm, about 490 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 160 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 13× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 28 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 50 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 30 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.6 nm, then slow to 1.3 nm (up to −8 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Excellent landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 050° at 6 kt · 6 kt tail · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 88 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 25 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 10 ft, 40 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 348 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 240 fpm at 8 ft to 70 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.7° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,103 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3.4 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 1.2 m left by the end of the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 348 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.08 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted on a Cockspur PH100 aircraft, departing from LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 909 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 107 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and wind speeds of 19 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Quart, Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, Italy, and reached an altitude of 17,438 feet above sea level (asl) in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Gaby, Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, Italy, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
