Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 4.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 38° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 156 kt with 1.0° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 628 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,378 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,270 fpm on average to 628 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,288 m runway.
Rolled from 46 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 9.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 9.3 m left, in 10 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 31 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
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: centreline more than 1° off and speed more than 40 kt above the approach speed of 159 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off and speed more than 24 kt above the approach speed of 159 kt.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: sinking too fast until 3.3 nm, banked until 3.2 nm, right of the centreline until 1.1 nm, slow from 1.9 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 3.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 180 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 1,713 m right of the centreline at 3.8 nm, then inside the band from 1.1 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 40 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 24 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 3.8 nm, where the final began, to 1.9 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −24 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Fair landing flare
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, 3° of bank.
Wind 270° at 1 kt · 0 kt head · 0 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 127 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 35 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 54 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 316 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 930 fpm at 53 ft to 490 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.1° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 9.3 m right of the centreline and drifted to 14 m right on the rollout, back to 3.5 m right by the end.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 316 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to the departure end of runway 31 at EGOV Anglesey Airport and positioned for take-off.
Take-off was achieved after a ground roll of 688 m, representing 30 % of the available runway, with liftoff attained at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 10 °C with a wind of 26 kt from 280°, giving a cross-wind component of 13 kt and a head-wind component of 23 kt.

A subsequent climb segment began 2 nm west of EGCK Caernarfon Airport, where altitude increased from 617 ft asl to 1 599 ft asl, a gain of 983 ft over 3 minutes and 11 nm.
The aircraft then climbed from 86 ft asl to 1 593 ft asl, an ascent of 1 507 ft in 3 minutes while traversing 9 nm, starting 2 nm west of Dyffryn Ardudwy.
Further climb commenced 3 nm north-east of Machynlleth, raising the aircraft from 239 ft asl to 2 601 ft asl, a climb of 2 362 ft in 3 minutes across 9 nm.
Level cruise was established 2 nm east of Nefyn, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.
A second cruise segment began 4 nm south-east of Fairbourne, persisting for 2 minutes and encompassing 3 nm.
Descent started 2 nm south of Rhosneigr, dropping from 1 983 ft asl to 633 ft asl, a loss of 1 350 ft in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
Another descent began 4 nm south-east of Pwllheli, reducing altitude from 1 565 ft asl to 86 ft asl, a decrease of 1 479 ft in 2 minutes over 8 nm.
The aircraft then descended 3 nm south-west of Dolgellau, falling from 1 586 ft asl to 1 099 ft asl, a loss of 487 ft in 2 minutes and 2 nm.
A further descent started 4 nm south of Dolgellau, lowering the aircraft from 892 ft asl to 239 ft asl, a reduction of 653 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
The final descent segment began 1 nm north-east of Dolgellau, descending from 2 662 ft asl to 499 ft asl, a loss of 2 163 ft in 3 minutes while covering 9 nm.
On final approach to runway 35 at EGFD Llandbehr Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 347.0° at 1 nm and 452 ft agl.
Landing on runway 35 was performed with a threshold speed of 135 kt; touchdown occurred 318 m down the runway at 128 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 537 fpm. The touchdown point was 9.3 m off centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 255°, providing a cross-wind of 2 kt and no head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1 056 m, equivalent to 48 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment was offset by 14.1 m from centreline.
Rollout continued briefly before the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 75 nm, lasted 23 (unspecified units), and used -7 kg of fuel.
