MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 11° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 395 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 to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 630 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb from an altitude of 768 feet above sea level to 23,351 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,583 feet in 10 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 150°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of Karya, Greece, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering 129 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 23,453 feet above sea level to 5,470 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,984 feet in 11 minutes, covering 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its enroute level cruise, starting 13 miles southeast of Lavrio, Greece, and lasting for 7 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles. It then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 5,020 feet above sea level to 4,516 feet above sea level, a decrease of 505 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft made another enroute level cruise, starting 7 miles west of Marmarion, Greece, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. It then began its final descent from an altitude of 4,054 feet above sea level to 1,575 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,479 feet in 4 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 217.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21R, which had a length of 3,202 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 116 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 393 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 111 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -342 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 220°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 902 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 301 nautical miles, taking 56 minutes, and the aircraft used 915 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 21R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, achieving a score of 97.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was executed with precision, with a threshold height slightly above the target at 57 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 116 knots, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 393 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 111 knots, the touchdown rate was firm at -342 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach strategy.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 902 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of aircraft C750 on runway 21R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was a successful operation, with a high score of 97.6%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the approach and landing, despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
