Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 75 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (EGGP) was a swift process, taking less than a minute to cover the short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 27, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 80 knots within a short distance of 426 meters, which represented 19% of the runway's total length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 267°.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 508 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 562 feet, an increase of 54 feet, within a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 27, descending from an altitude of 253 feet above ground level to a height of 27 feet above ground level before executing a go-around. On the subsequent landing attempt, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 53 knots, with a touchdown distance of 453 meters, which was well within the acceptable range. The total landing distance was 737 meters, representing 33% of the runway's length.
The flight concluded with a total distance of 15 nautical miles, taking approximately 11 minutes to complete, and utilizing 25 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a smooth touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute and excellent runway touchdown and rollout alignment.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport, a 2,224-meter-long runway, with a smooth touchdown rate of -138 fpm at a speed of 53 kt. The touchdown distance of 453 meters was considered good, and the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment. The threshold height of 75 ft agl was well above the target, and the threshold speed of 82 kt was also above the target, but still within acceptable limits.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained a very good alignment with the centerline, demonstrating excellent control and stability. The total landing distance of 737 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 86.9%. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed and height were above target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown characteristics, rollout alignment, and total landing distance all contributed to a successful landing.
