Flight Score
Arrival
Use aileron to level the wings and hold the upwind wing low only enough to track the centreline before touchdown.
What happened: At touchdown the wings were not level, with an average bank angle of 2.4°.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and keep wings level through touchdown.
Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,052 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 309 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 28 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) and commenced the departure roll, covering a take-off distance of 661 m which represents 22 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 68 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind from 225° at 3 kt, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
After departure, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern for runway 28, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 16 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg of the pattern also spanned less than 1 nm and was completed in 17 seconds.
During the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway of 139.6° measured on a 45° reference.
The downwind leg itself was less than 1 nm in length and was flown for 28 seconds.
The base-leg turn was a 1 nm maneuver with an angle to the runway of 53.2° on a 45° reference.
The base leg that followed was again less than 1 nm and required 27 seconds to complete.
The final turn into the approach course covered less than 1 nm and was executed in 5 seconds.
Landing was executed on runway 28, whose total length is 3,052 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 64 kt. Touchdown occurred 308 m down the runway at a speed of 40 kt with a vertical rate of minus 19 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway centreline. Weather conditions at landing matched those reported for departure: 20 °C, wind 3 kt from 225°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
The rollout distance measured 431 m, representing 14 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
In total, the flight covered 3 nm, taking 3, and consumed 29 kg of fuel.
The aircraft Gabriel approached runway 28 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport in a temperature of 20 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 225°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind, aligning for a runway length of 3,052 m.
The threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 64 kt, which the data rates as good.
Touchdown was recorded 308 m from the threshold at a speed of 40 kt, a vertical rate of -19 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 431 m, equal to 14 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the current touchdown point near the 300 m aim point and continue to manage speed to preserve the excellent vertical rate; minor attention to consistency will keep the score at the high level achieved.
