MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 93 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 76 kt against a target of 93 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 93 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.
What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.
Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle
See Arrival Final 4
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,833 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
This flight was operated in a Beechcraft Duke aircraft, departing from LGKF Kefallinia Airport. The departure roll from runway 32 took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff distance of 261 meters, which is 12% of the runway, liftoff speed was achieved at 76 knots. The local weather conditions during departure consisted of a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, wind at 2 knots from 247 degrees, and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it lifted off from Kefallinia Island and climbed to an altitude of 3,102 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,081 ft asl. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 1 minute, representing an altitude gain of 2,021 feet. Following this, the aircraft established a level cruise at 1 mile southwest of Argostolion, lasting for 7 minutes while covering 20 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft encountered a series of enroute climbs and level cruises across the Ionian Islands region of Greece. These phases included a climb from 2,149 ft asl to 2,909 ft asl near Poros, followed by level cruises at Skala and Kalamakion. In addition, the aircraft descended from 2,764 ft asl to 2,257 ft asl while passing by Planos, and from 2,209 ft asl to 1,501 ft asl near Keri.
The final approach to runway 34 at LGZA Zakynthos International Airport began at 4 nautical miles from the runway, heading 344.0 degrees and at 1,485 feet above ground level. The landing was executed from the south, and although the local wind conditions favored crosswinds, the touchdown speed was manageable at 87 knots. The aircraft came to rest 152 meters down the runway, with a touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute, and a total landing distance of 427 meters, which is 23% of the runway length.
The post-landing taxi to the parking area took approximately 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight utilized 131 kilograms of fuel and covered a total distance of 84 nautical miles.
The Beechcraft Duke's landing at LGZA Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos was rated as 92.8% efficient. The aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 34 from the south, heading 344.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,485 feet mean sea level. This approach angle provided the pilot with a suitable trajectory for a safe landing on the 1,833-meter runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed of 93 knots. The actual touchdown distance of 152 meters also met expectations. Moreover, the touchdown speed of 87 knots and rate of -184 fpm (feet per minute) indicated that the pilot achieved a smooth and steady landing. However, the pilot did experience some issues with the alignment of the rollout, with the runway touchdown position being off centerline by 5.6 meters and the runway rollout alignment being off centerline by 8 meters.
Weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29 °C and a headwind of 20 knots at 340°. This reduced the crosswind effect, but still presented some challenge to the pilot. A crosswind of just 1 knot, in contrast to the 21 knots wind blowing across the runway, indicated that the headwind component was strong enough to keep the crosswind within manageable limits.
