MY FS FLIGHTS
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 5.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.3 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down 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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 70 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,733 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RKSI Incheon International Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Cessna 208B then began its departure roll on runway 33L, utilizing 14% of the 536-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 80 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from RKSI, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, ascending from 848 feet above sea level to 6,806 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The climb rate was impressive, with an increase of 5,958 feet in a relatively short period. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 42 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a series of descents, with the first descent starting 11 miles southwest of Waegwan, where the aircraft descended from 6,519 feet to 4,539 feet in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The final descent, which began overhead Waegwan, resulted in a touchdown at RKTN Daegu Airport on runway 13R.
The approach and landing at RKTN Daegu Airport were executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 62 knots and a touchdown distance of 276 meters, which was 17% of the 2,734-meter runway length. The touchdown rate was firm at -369 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 167 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 230 kilograms of fuel during the 69-minute flight.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 13R at RKTN Daegu Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing excellent approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,582 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway centerline as it approached from the northwest. The pilot maintained a steady heading of 124.0°, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold speed, touching down at 65 knots. The touchdown distance of 276 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was consistent with the desired rate, and the firm touchdown rate of -369 feet per minute (fpm) suggested a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 461 meters, which accounted for only 17% of the runway length, further underscored the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.3%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and precision displayed by the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
