Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Add power on approach to bring the speed up to 87 kt before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: The approach was already slow at the stabilisation gate, and a slow gate like that usually carries through to a slow threshold crossing - here 78 kt against the 87 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 87 kt on approach, carrying through to 87 kt at the threshold.
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 87 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,328 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,328 m of the 2,994 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Tbilisi International Airport, UGTB, on runway 31L, with a takeoff distance of 462 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 82 knots, with a local wind of 11 knots at 320 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind. The climb phase began overhead the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,948 feet above sea level to 15,888 feet, a vertical gain of 13,940 feet, in 12 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a series of level cruises and descents, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude over various points in Georgia and Turkey. Notably, the aircraft spent 60 minutes in level cruise at an altitude of 5,991 feet above sea level, covering 320 nautical miles. The descent phase began 3 miles west of LTUN Ünye Airport, where the aircraft descended from 5,995 feet to 3,000 feet above sea level, a vertical loss of 2,995 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at LTFH Samsun-Çarşamba Airport was made from the south east, with a heading of 316.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 951 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 68 knots and a rate of -64 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre. The total landing distance was 2,224 meters, accounting for 74% of the runway length. The flight concluded with a taxiing time of less than 1 minute and a fuel consumption of 126 kilograms, covering a total distance of 406 nautical miles in 100 minutes.
The final approach to runway 31 at LTFH Samsun-Çarşamba Airport from the south east was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 316.0° at 4 nm and 951 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a temperature of 9 °C, with a gentle headwind of 5 kt and a minimal crosswind of 2 kt. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 68 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -64 fpm was excellent, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 354 m was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.9 m, which would require attention during the rollout phase.
The rollout phase was conducted with a total landing distance of 2,224 m, which represented 74% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.9 m, the overall performance was satisfactory. The score for this landing was 96.4%, reflecting the pilot's skill and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
