Flight Score
Reduce your height at the threshold
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,900 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 682 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Kefallinia Airport, Greece, took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 32, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 115 knots. The takeoff distance of 673 meters accounted for 31% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 279°, resulting in a crosswind and headwind of 9 knots each.
As the aircraft climbed away from Kefallinia Island, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 31,048 feet above sea level in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 30,033 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 101 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Salamina, Greece. The descent phase saw the aircraft lose 27,950 feet in altitude over a period of 19 minutes, covering 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, before commencing its final approach to runway 34 at Mykonos Island National Airport.
The final approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 34, with a total landing distance of 938 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 253 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 78 knots and a touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 289 nautical miles, with a flight time of 62 minutes and a fuel consumption of 372 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 34 at LGMK Mykonos Island National Airport from the south was initiated at 4 nm and 1,246 ft above ground level, heading 341.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 98 kt, which met the target. However, the threshold height at 100 ft above ground level was excessively over target, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach path.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown speed of 78 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -99 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 253 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the over-run. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a headwind of 13 kt, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 938 m was 49% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal path. Overall, the landing performance of the Cockspur PH100 was satisfactory, with a score of 75.5%. While there were some deviations from the optimal approach and touchdown path, the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability throughout the landing.
