Flight Score
Departure
Smooth your control inputs during the roll and rotation, easing the controls rather than snatching them, to keep the g force steady.
What happened: Abrupt control inputs during the ground roll produced 0.2 g on the g meter, and this kind of rough handling usually carries into the initial climb, showing up as 0.2 g in Climb 1 and larger excursions of 0.3 g in Climb 2.
Watch for: G meter: a smooth, steady reading through the roll and into the climb.
Arrival
Ease the touchdown by holding the back pressure through the flare rather than letting the aircraft arrive firmly onto the gear.
What happened: Landing g force ran high at 0.2 g on touchdown, and this usually carries through into the rollout, where g force ran high again at 0.3 g.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady loading through touchdown and rollout
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: wings 16° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 794 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 48 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.23 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed EGCK Caernarfon Airport on runway 25, achieving a takeoff roll of 393 m which represented 50 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 80 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced directly overhead the departure airport, with the flight ascending from 376 ft asl to 1,686 ft asl - a gain of 1,310 ft - over a period of three minutes while covering five nautical miles.
Level cruise began one mile north of EGCK and was maintained for three minutes, during which the aircraft travelled another five nautical miles at a constant altitude.
During the final approach the aircraft descended from 461 ft agl to 8 ft agl in 54 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
The approach was executed toward runway 25 at EGCK Caernarfon Airport, maintaining the prescribed glide path and alignment for a safe landing configuration.
Touchdown on runway 25 occurred with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 61 kt. The aircraft landed 47 m down the runway at 58 kt, recording a touchdown rate of minus 81 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Weather conditions remained 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 2 kt.
Rollout was completed within a total landing distance of 269 m, representing 34 % of the runway length, and the runway-rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
In total the flight covered 11 nm, lasted six minutes, and consumed three kg of fuel.
Aircraft Commander 114 achieved a final score of 93.4% on the landing to runway 25 at EGCK Caernarfon Airport. The final approach descended from 461 ft AGL to 8 ft AGL in 54 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 61 kt. Local conditions were 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred 47 m from the threshold at a speed of 58 kt, which was good. The vertical touchdown rate was excellent at minus 81 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 269 m, equal to 34 % of the 794 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To bring the threshold speed fully into target, tighter speed control on the final approach is recommended. Maintaining the published speed will further improve the approach score while preserving the strong alignment and touchdown performance.
