Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,746 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 256 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Pyongyang Sunan International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway in under a minute. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, began its departure roll on runway 19R, taking off in 438 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 79 knots, and the aircraft climbed to a height of 7,924 feet above sea level in just 5 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it leveled off at 7,924 feet, cruising for 27 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 7,950 feet to 3,708 feet in 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple level cruises and descents, with the final descent starting 9 miles west of Hwaseong-si, South Korea. The aircraft landed on runway 33L at Incheon International Airport, touching down in 254 meters, which was 11% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 62 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -377 feet per minute.
The flight's total distance was 154 nautical miles, and it used 213 kilograms of fuel. The taxiing time from the runway to the parking area was 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 33L at RKSI Incheon International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from 1,263 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 325.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 62 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 254 meters was also good, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown rate of -377 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a slight impact on the landing gear. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline, but this did not significantly affect the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft staying on course throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 426 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 98.1%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth execution of the landing, despite the slight misalignment on touchdown.
