Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 108 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 122 kt, 14 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 108 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,807 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,789 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10R at the Monterey Peninsula Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,597 feet, which is 38% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 122 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 12 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 10R, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 57 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated with ease, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in just 14 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to make a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 9.8 degrees.
The final approach to runway 28L was made from the east, with a heading of 263.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28L, which has a length of 6,807 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 109 knots. The touchdown point was 516 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 98 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -211 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 17 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 308 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 3,272 feet, which is 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, which was covered in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used -1 pound of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question successfully landed at KMRY Monterey Peninsula Airport, with a score of 88.1%. The final approach to runway 28L was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 109 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 516 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the touchdown speed of 98 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and slowed the aircraft down effectively.
The touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 308°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 3,272 feet was 48% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the centerline during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment with the centerline.
