Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 0.6°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 70 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 78 kt, 8 kt above the 70 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 70 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance covered 1,347 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 86 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent.
As the aircraft reached cruising altitude, it leveled off and began its enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This brief period of steady flight took place overhead EGPE Inverness Airport, allowing the aircraft to gain altitude and stabilize its flight path.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 48.0 degrees and at an altitude of 204 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 1 nautical mile away from the runway threshold at this point.
The landing on runway 05 was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 59 knots. The touchdown distance was 406 meters, which is a good indication of the pilot's skill and control. The touchdown rate was also excellent, at -96 feet per minute, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to absorb the impact of landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were different from those at takeoff, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from 228 degrees. This resulted in a slight tailwind, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, 4.8 meters off the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
The total landing distance covered 703 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 204 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 79 knots being achieved. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures the aircraft is slowed down sufficiently to prevent overrunning the runway. The touchdown distance of 406 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
The touchdown speed of 59 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed for landing. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a high degree of control throughout the landing process.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the aircraft touching down 4.8 meters off-center. This is a minor issue, but it does highlight the importance of maintaining alignment during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 228°. This minimal wind made the landing process even smoother, with no significant crosswind or tailwind to contend with.
The total landing distance of 703 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process and had successfully brought it to a stop.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in controlling the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza during the landing process. The aircraft's performance was excellent, and the pilot's ability to navigate the landing process with precision and control was evident throughout.
