Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 107 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 79 kt against a target of 107 kt, running 28 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 107 kt.
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 281 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 281 fpm next time
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 513 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 513 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 153 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed from runway 19 at AYPB Paiela Airport, achieving a takeoff roll of 378 m, which represented 74 % of the runway length. Liftoff occurred at 67 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead AYPB Paiela Airport, Porgera (Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea). The aircraft ascended from 6,396 ft asl to 7,631 ft asl, an increase of 1,235 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles southwest of AYPB Paiela Airport and persisted for 2 minutes, during which 4 nm were traversed.
Descent was initiated 1 mile southeast of AYPB Paiela Airport. Altitude decreased from 7,371 ft asl to 6,468 ft asl, a loss of 903 ft over 2 minutes, covering 3 nm.
During the final approach to runway 19 at AYPB Paiela Airport, the aircraft descended from 450 ft agl to 12 ft agl in 29 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 19, whose total length is 513 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 69 kt. Touchdown occurred 150 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 127 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Weather conditions remained temperature 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt, head-wind 0 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 336 m, representing 66 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
In summary, the flight covered 11 nm, taking 6, and consumed 14 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 19 at AYPB Paiela Airport descended from 450 ft agl to 12 ft agl in 29 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 69 kt.
Touchdown occurred 150 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a smooth rate of -127 fpm and very good runway touchdown alignment.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 336 m, representing 66 % of the 513 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the current descent profile and alignment to preserve the high score, while fine-tuning flare timing to keep touchdown distance consistently near the aim point.
