Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 06 at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra, with a takeoff distance of 656 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 113 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at an angle of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of Austnes in the More og Romsdal fylke, Norway. The climb took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,003 feet above sea level to 27,361 feet, an increase of 26,358 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles southeast of Svelgen in the Vestland region of Norway. This cruise phase lasted for 89 minutes, covering a distance of 382 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 87 miles east of Beadnell in Northumberland, England. The descent took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 27,471 feet to 17,629 feet, a decrease of 9,842 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 50 miles northeast of Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 36 miles northeast of Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, England. The descent took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 17,624 feet to 999 feet, a decrease of 16,626 feet.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, starting overhead Leconfield in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to landing, starting overhead Brough in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The approach took place from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 188 feet above ground level.
The final approach was followed by a descent from 47 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level, a decrease of 47 feet in 11 seconds. The touchdown took place at a speed of 73 knots, with a touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute and a touchdown distance of 412 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at an angle of 88°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The landing rollout took place overhead Brough, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 13 feet above sea level. The distance covered during the rollout was 229 meters. The total flight distance was 579 nautical miles, taking a total of 156 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 429 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PC-12 aircraft successfully completed a landing at Brough, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, with a score of 83.7%. The final approach to landing was initiated from 1 nautical mile away, with the aircraft at an altitude of 188 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft descended towards the runway, it maintained a steady altitude, eventually touching down at a speed of 73 knots, which was considered good.
The touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 412 meters was also deemed good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 88 degrees.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth touchdown. Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 13 feet above sea level (asl). The distance covered during the rollout was 229 meters, bringing the aircraft to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills. However, the score of 83.7% suggests that there may have been some room for improvement in terms of precision and adherence to standard procedures.
