Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 155 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 135 kt against a target of 155 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 155 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 39 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 39 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 39 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight, operated by the LH Flight Academy, began with a short taxiing period of less than 1 minute from the parking area to the runway at LQMO Mostar International Airport. The aircraft taxied a distance of less than 1 nm before reaching runway 15, where it prepared for departure.
On departure, the aircraft took to the skies after rolling down runway 15, requiring a takeoff distance of 708 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 135 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions included a temperature of 26°C and wind at 8 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
Following departure, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb over LQMO Mostar International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,192 feet above sea level to 9,951 feet. This upward momentum was achieved within 1 minute, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The climb rate was a remarkable 8,760 feet in a short span, demonstrating the capabilities of the aircraft.
As the aircraft flew south of Blagaj, it reached an enroute level cruise phase, lasting for 2 minutes while covering 8 nautical miles. This steady-state flying regime was maintained for a short duration, allowing the pilots to assess the aircraft's performance in cruise conditions.
The enroute descent began overhead Tasovcici, where the aircraft shed 9,093 feet in altitude over a period of 9 minutes, while covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The descent from 10,107 feet to 1,014 feet above sea level was gradual, reflecting the careful approach to landing.
For the final approach to runway 15 at LQMO Mostar International Airport, the aircraft turned north, aligning with the runway at a heading of 157.0°. As the aircraft neared the landing threshold, it was flying at an altitude of 840 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 15, touching down a short distance beyond the touchdown zone at 127 meters. The touchdown speed was a relatively low 105 knots, which was suitable for the landing conditions. However, the touchdown rate was slightly high at -222 feet per minute, indicating the aircraft touched down relatively quickly. The runway touchdown position was slightly off-centerline by 9.7 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,386 meters, accounting for 58% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft's rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.6 meters, reflecting the challenges posed by the crosswind conditions.
The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 25°C and wind at 7 knots at 250°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The flight itself covered a total distance of 32 nautical miles, lasting for 14 minutes, and utilized approximately 295 kilograms of fuel.
The LH Flight Academy aircraft safely landed at Mostar International Airport (LQMO) with a satisfactory overall performance. The pilot demonstrated proficiency in navigating the aircraft towards the runway and achieving a good threshold speed of 116 kt. Upon descent, the aircraft was at an altitude of 840 ft and a distance of 2 nm from the runway, aligned with a heading of 157.0°, which ensured a precise final approach.
The landing itself was accomplished within the acceptable limits, with a touchdown speed of 105 kt being well within the standard range for such operations. However, the touchdown rate of -222 fpm was only categorized as fair. A higher touchdown rate would typically indicate a more controlled descent, allowing the crew to better prepare for the eventual touchdown.
One notable aspect of the landing is the significant overrun, with the touchdown point located 127 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. This indicates that the pilot could have potentially reduced the landing distance, but the available runway length of 2,395 m was sufficient for a safe stop. Notably, the runway length is relatively long, which allows pilots to absorb more overrun during landing.
Despite the good threshold height and speed, there were some issues with the alignment of the aircraft. The touch-down point and the roll-out alignment were both slightly off-centerline, with deviations of 9.7 m and 9.6 m, respectively. This misalignment, although not critical, indicates that some adjustments could be made to improve the precision of the landing.
The weather conditions at the time were relatively favorable, with a relatively calm temperature of 25 °C and a gentle wind of 7 kt at 250°, which did not significantly impact the landing. The crosswind component of 7 kt was effectively managed, allowing for a smooth touchdown.
