Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 2.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 71 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 82 kt, 11 kt above the 71 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 71 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 376 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then departed from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The takeoff distance was 302 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 273°.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead EGPE Inverness Airport and lasted for 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, which was initiated from the north-east, heading 229.0° at an altitude of 95 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 375 meters, which was good considering the runway length of 1,814 meters. The touchdown speed was 59 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -103 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 °C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 70°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 15 knots.
The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating an extremely efficient operation. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient takeoff, cruise, and landing, with perfect runway alignment and a smooth touchdown rate.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 229.0° at 1 nm and 95 ft above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient clearance to safely touch down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 82 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors.
The touchdown distance of 375 meters was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to slow the aircraft down quickly and safely. The touchdown speed of 59 kt was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -103 fpm was smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully arrested the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 °C and a wind speed of 16 kt from 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a tailwind of 15 kt, which the pilot successfully managed to compensate for during the landing.
The total landing distance of 633 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of a safe and controlled landing, with the pilot successfully managing the aircraft's speed, distance, and alignment to achieve a perfect score.
