Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,507 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. Upon departure, the aircraft rolled down runway 30 at LBPD Plovdiv International Airport, taking off after traveling 1,313 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The takeoff speed reached 142 knots, and the aircraft lifted off the ground.
The initial climb started about 1 mile northwest of LBPD Plovdiv International Airport, where the aircraft began its ascent from an elevation of 1,584 feet above sea level to an altitude of 28,335 feet above sea level, a total increase of 26,751 feet. This climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft began its level cruise about 4 miles north of Krivodol, lasting 20 minutes and covering 127 nautical miles.
Subsequently, the aircraft entered another climb segment about 3 miles north of LYKT Kostolac Airfield, ascending from 28,173 feet to 30,974 feet, a gain of 2,801 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned to another level cruise segment, which began about 1 mile west of Alibunar. This phase lasted 99 minutes and spanned 532 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft initiated its descent about 9 miles south of Murovanka, Belarus, decreasing from 29,939 feet to 10,817 feet in just 14 minutes, covering 68 nautical miles. The next level cruise phase began about 5 miles north-east of Aukstadvaris, lasting only 2 minutes, and covering 9 nautical miles. The final descent occurred about 1 mile south of Vievis, Lithuania, dropping from 10,818 feet to 1,945 feet, a decrease of 8,873 feet over 7 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
Upon approach to EYVI Vilnius International Airport, the aircraft began its final descent and landed on runway 19 from the north, having reached an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,311 feet above ground level at a heading of 202.0°. The landing was successful, with the aircraft reaching a touchdown speed of 107 knots, landing distance of 459 meters, and a touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute.
The post-landing taxiing process took about 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered 883 nautical miles, utilizing 181 minutes of flight time and 6,467 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a Ryjet RJ85, successfully landed at Vilnius International Airport, Lithuania, on runway 19, with a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 202.0°, which is slightly offset from the runway's direction. At the point of final approach, the plane was 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold and at an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level.
During the approach, the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a suitable threshold speed of 118 knots. This indicates that the pilot was on track to land safely and within the acceptable parameters. Upon touchdown, the plane utilized the full length of the runway efficiently, covering a distance of 459 meters before coming to a stop. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was also good, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft to a safe landing.
While the touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute was only fair, it still falls within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, it's worth noting that a touchdown rate closer to zero would have been ideal. The pilot's ability to maintain runway touchdown alignment was exceptional, with the plane perfectly aligned with the runway during touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 14°C and a moderate headwind of 13 knots. Although there was a slight crosswind of 5 knots from the left, the pilot managed to compensate for it effectively. The total landing distance of 967 meters accounted for just 39% of the runway, which is an impressive feat, indicating the pilot's skill in utilizing the aircraft's capabilities to achieve a smooth and efficient landing. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's exceptional control and skill in navigating the aircraft after touchdown.
