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 2.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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 runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,972 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Black Square Starship N45FL taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYFB Iqaluit Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 1,235 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 125 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada, and rising from an altitude of 492 feet above sea level to 32,515 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,023 feet in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 74 miles east of Iqaluit, and lasting for 67 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 398 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 51 miles south of Qeqertarsuatsiaat, Sermersooq, Greenland, and descending from 32,894 feet above sea level to 24,894 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,000 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 19 miles northwest of BGPT Paamiut Airport, Paamiut, Sermersooq, Greenland, and lasting for 18 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 51 miles northwest of BGBW Narsarsuaq Airport, Narsarsuaq, Kujalleq, Greenland, and descending from 24,906 feet above sea level to 1,556 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,349 feet in just 13 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at BGBW Narsarsuaq Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 221.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,485 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 24, which had a length of 1,972 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 117 knots.
The touchdown point was 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 97 knots and the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute were both good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 50 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,396 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 667 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 135 minutes, using 663 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at BGBW Narsarsuaq Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,485 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a speed of 97 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also good, at -171 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 273 meters.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 117 knots. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing performance.
The total landing distance was 1,396 meters, which was 71% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, and the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
