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 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A started with a 4-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EHBK Maastricht Aachen Airport. The departure roll on runway 21 covered 884 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 114 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 8°C with a 6-knot wind coming from 120° resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The enroute climb began over Meerssen in the province of Limburg, The Netherlands, with the aircraft climbing from 1,310 feet above sea level to 27,241 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 49 nautical miles and took 15 minutes.
The enroute level cruise commenced over Boxhorn in Clervaux, Luxembourg, and lasted 39 minutes, covering a distance of 190 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began over Chaffois in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France, with the aircraft descending from 27,245 feet above sea level to 3,200 feet above sea level. This descent covered a distance of 46 nautical miles and took 21 minutes.
The landing took place on runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, with a runway length of 3,570 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 43 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 98 knots. The touchdown occurred 511 meters from the threshold, at a speed of 84 knots. The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) showed a descent rate of -122 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 10°C with a 4-knot wind coming from 29°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 673 meters, which was 19% of the runway length.
After landing, it took 7 minutes to taxi from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the total flight distance was 295 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 96 minutes. The aircraft used 476 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving such a high aircraft landing score of 99.2%! This is an impressive feat that clearly demonstrates the skill and precision of the pilot and the entire landing team.
Taking a closer look at the different phases of the landing, it is evident that each phase was executed with great attention to detail and precision. The Approach Phase is crucial in setting the stage for a successful landing, and it is commendable that the glideslope alignment was excellent. This indicates that the aircraft was on the correct descent path, enhancing safety and ensuring a smooth transition into the landing phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is worth noting that the threshold height was good and the landing flare was great. A controlled and timely flare is essential for a smooth touchdown, and it is great to see that this was executed effectively. Additionally, having the touchdown rate smooth and the speed on target further demonstrates the pilot's skill and ability to accurately judge the aircraft's descent.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is impressive to see that the touchdown point was 81 meters beyond the touchdown zone. This shows excellent judgment and precision in landing the aircraft at the right spot on the runway. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position being only 2.6 meters from the centerline indicates a high level of accuracy in maintaining alignment during the landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was described as very good. Maintaining alignment during the rollout is crucial for a safe and smooth landing, and achieving this at a high level further emphasizes the proficiency of the pilot.
Overall, this detailed analysis of the aircraft landing score showcases a high level of competency and skill in every phase of the landing process. By maintaining focus, precision, and attention to detail throughout, the pilot and landing team have demonstrated their ability to execute a near-perfect landing. This achievement is certainly something to be proud of and reflects a commitment to excellence in aviation operations. Keep up the great work!
