Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 532 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 34 at KHPN Westchester County Airport, a small airport located in Westchester County, New York. The takeoff distance was 483 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 116 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KHPN Westchester County Airport and continued for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,425 feet above sea level to 37,835 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,410 feet.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. This phase started 1 mile east of New Marlborough, Massachusetts. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles east of 1C3 Argyle Airport in Argyle, New York. The descent from 38,107 feet above sea level to 4,732 feet above sea level took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This phase started 1 mile south of Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Quebec, Canada. The aircraft then began its descent again, which started 1 mile northeast of Sainte-Julie, Quebec, Canada. The descent from 4,727 feet above sea level to 2,845 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase started 1 mile north of Boucherville, Quebec, Canada. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Saint-Leonard, Quebec, Canada. The descent from 2,671 feet above sea level to 1,388 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 223.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown point 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -153 feet per minute, which was also good.
However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 290 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,334 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 299 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 62 minutes. The aircraft used 924 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 108 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 96 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,334 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.6 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills in executing the approach and landing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate centerline alignment during the rollout phase.
