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 1.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 77 kt with 3.9° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 996 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,722 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,540 fpm on average to 996 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,114 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 2.8 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 5 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 10 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 1.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 140 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 1,005 m left of the centreline at 1.1 nm.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Good landing flare
No wind recorded: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 6° right of the track, wings level.
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 60 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 13 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,041 m of the approach.
Touched down 246 m in, 59 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,041 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 90 fpm at 32 ft to 70 fpm at 14 ft, then back up to 290 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 1.0° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 1,041 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 8.3 m right of the centreline.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 246 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.43 G arrival bounced 2 times.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 25 at EGNT Newcastle Airport. The takeoff distance was 352 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 77 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 200 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGNT Newcastle Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,274 feet above sea level to 3,986 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,712 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile west of Rowlands Gill, and it lasted for 44 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northwest of Tideswell, and it took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,839 feet above sea level to 1,562 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,277 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began again 1 mile south of Tideswell and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it encountered a go-around situation at EGHV Camphill Airfield, where it was required to climb from 0 feet above ground level. The final approach to runway 19 at EGHV Camphill Airfield was made from the north, heading 199.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 123 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 at EGHV Camphill Airfield was successful, with a touchdown distance of 245 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 55 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -399 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 239 degrees.
The total landing distance was 560 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 36.7 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 112 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 158 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
