Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 738 m past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 19 at KBKW Raleigh County Memorial Airport. The takeoff distance was 509 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 129 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of KBKW Raleigh County Memorial Airport, rising from an altitude of 3,462 feet above sea level to 5,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,528 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Stanaford, West Virginia, and lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The descent phase began 1 mile southwest of Marmet, West Virginia, and involved a decrease in altitude from 5,992 feet above sea level to 2,698 feet above sea level, a drop of 3,295 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 5 miles north of Pinch, West Virginia, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at KCRW Yeager Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 221.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,207 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 at KCRW Yeager Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 308 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 78 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 36 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,075 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 65 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 33 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 116 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at KCRW Yeager Airport, achieving a score of 90.7%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,207 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target at 68 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 99 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 308 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.
The touchdown speed of 78 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a well-executed landing. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of 36 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C. The total landing distance of 1,075 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 1,742 meters.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 90.7%.
