Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 23° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 881 ft 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 to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19R at KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,622 feet, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 2,053 feet above sea level to 44,220 feet above sea level, an increase of 42,167 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 10 miles south of Ness City, Kansas, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles south of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, and descended from 44,201 feet above sea level to 10,451 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,750 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northeast of The Pinery, Colorado, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles northwest of 1CO8 Everitt Airport Parker, Colorado, and descended from 10,438 feet above sea level to 6,586 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,852 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 360.0°, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,227 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 12,040 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 108 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 876 feet, and the touchdown speed was 105 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -556 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 42 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 20°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,597 feet, which was 22% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 384 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,148 pounds.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 90.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 876 feet, which is considered good.
The touchdown speed of 105 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -556 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal landing profile. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 108 knots, but this is not considered a significant issue.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,597 feet was 22% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 42 feet from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 40 feet from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of Aircraft C750 during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.5%.
