Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,322 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,322 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 132 m 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport. The takeoff distance was 434 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 77 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, with no crosswind and a tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of Gaissau, in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. The climb began at an altitude of 2,083 feet above sea level and reached a height of 2,795 feet, an increase of 712 feet, in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 96.0° at an altitude of 314 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 10, which had a length of 1,322 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 75 knots, at 75 knots. The touchdown distance was 130 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown speed was 71 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -282 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 303 meters, accounting for 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used 31 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 10 from the west was executed at a heading of 96.0°, with a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 314 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a well-planned and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady course and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 71 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 130 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The threshold height was also reported as good, suggesting that the pilot had a clear visual reference for the runway and was able to maintain a safe altitude.
The landing distance of 303 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed and descent rate, and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway touchdown alignment was reported as perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. However, the pilot's ability to maintain control over the aircraft and bring it to a safe stop was not compromised by the weather conditions.
Overall, the Cessna 208B's landing at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's performance was within acceptable limits, and the pilot's ability to maintain control over the aircraft was evident throughout the landing.
