Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,672 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,672 m of the 2,443 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 363 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Learjet 35A, then departed from runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. The takeoff distance was 706 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Birgitz in the Tirol region of Austria. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 891 meters above sea level to 11,333 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,441.5 meters, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Sarentino in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy. This phase lasted for 89 minutes and covered a distance of 334 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 11 miles northwest of Rodi Garganico in the Puglia region of Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,371 meters above sea level to 404 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,967.8 meters, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport was made from the southwest, heading 70.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 356.3 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 2,443 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 125 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 361 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.4 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,585 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 446 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 755 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Learjet 35A successfully landed at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 70.0° at an altitude of 356.3 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range, at 116 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 361 meters. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -1.4 meters per second, indicating a slightly longer deceleration period. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 170°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component, which made the landing even smoother. The total landing distance of 1,585 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment with the centerline.
