Flight Score
Monitor your speed
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.

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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,997 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 629 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 21 at ESSV Visby Airport in Sweden. The aircraft, a Griffin, took off with a takeoff distance of 679 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 2,770 feet above sea level (asl) in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a descent, which started 2 miles northwest of Tofta, Gotland County, Sweden. The aircraft descended from 2,911 ft asl to 2,207 ft asl, a decrease of 704 ft in 2 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and descents, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 39,716 ft asl. The climbs and descents were interspersed with level cruise segments, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and speed. The flight path took the aircraft over various locations in Sweden, including Gotland County, Kalmar, and Blekinge County.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 21 at ESSV Visby Airport from the north. The approach was made at a heading of 200.0°, with the aircraft at 4 nautical miles from the airport and 720 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on the runway, with a touchdown point 212 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 929 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 9 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 298 nautical miles, and the flight used -2 kilograms of fuel.
The Griffin aircraft successfully landed at ESSV Visby Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north, heading 200.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 720 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 135 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown point was located 212 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -335 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline during the landing roll. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes and control surfaces were functioning effectively.
The total landing distance of 929 meters was 47% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the Griffin aircraft demonstrated good handling and control characteristics during the approach and landing phases.
