Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.1° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 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 36C at LTAI Antalya International Airport. The aircraft, a PC-12, accelerated down the runway, covering 1,938 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 91 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of LTAI Antalya International Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,191 feet above sea level to 11,920 feet above sea level in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate was achieved despite the aircraft's relatively modest weight and the favorable weather conditions.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 63 nautical miles. This cruise phase was characterized by a steady altitude of 11,920 feet above sea level, allowing the aircraft to maintain a consistent speed and fuel consumption.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 15 miles northeast of Fethiye. The descent was steep, with the aircraft descending from 11,931 feet above sea level to 7,942 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. This rapid descent was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent phase, this time from 7,860 feet above sea level to 2,874 feet above sea level in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This descent was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 8 miles south of Sarigerme, with the aircraft descending from 2,472 feet above sea level to 1,290 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This final descent was followed by a smooth touchdown on runway 01 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, a threshold speed of 80 knots, and a touchdown distance of 442 meters, which was 32% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 73 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 120 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 57 minutes. The aircraft used 198 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at LTBS Dalaman International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 80 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 442 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down on the runway.
The touchdown speed of 73 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had managed to control the aircraft's descent and prevent any sudden or jarring movements. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a high level of control and precision during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 973 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a high level of control and precision during the landing.
Overall, the PC-12 aircraft demonstrated excellent handling and control during the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the high score achieved. The landing was a success, and the aircraft was safely on the ground.
