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
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, sink rate 6,872 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 1.7° off, against a 1° limit, wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 244 kt FAST on the reference speed of 156 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,632 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at PHBK Barking Sands Airport took approximately one minute, covering less than one nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 16, with the aircraft accelerating to a liftoff speed of 204 knots. The takeoff distance of 3,327 feet was 111% of the available runway length, indicating a moderate to high takeoff performance. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 78°F.
Following departure, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb approximately one mile south of PHBK Barking Sands Airport, rising from 413 feet above sea level to 4,503 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of seven nautical miles. The climb rate of 4,090 feet per minute was consistent with the aircraft's performance capabilities. Subsequent enroute descents and climbs were conducted as necessary, with the final approach initiated 20 miles west of the airport. The aircraft descended from 267 feet above ground level to 42 feet, before touching down at a speed of 167 knots. However, the touchdown rate was notably high at -525 feet per minute, and the touchdown point was excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway.
The landing rollout, which took place 20 miles west of PHBK Barking Sands Airport, covered a distance of 1,828 feet, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of four feet above sea level. The total flight distance of 41 nautical miles was achieved in eight minutes, with the aircraft consuming 1,278 pounds of fuel. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 80°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 180 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The final approach to landing was conducted on the ground 20 miles west of PHBK Barking Sands Airport Kekaha, with the aircraft descending from 1 nm to 1 nm at 267 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a steady rate of descent, reducing its altitude from 42 ft to 0 ft in 10 seconds.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it touched down at a speed of 167 kt, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -525 fpm, indicating a high rate of deceleration. The touchdown point was excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway. This was likely due to the aircraft's high touchdown speed and the tailwind component of 1 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 80 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 180 °, did not significantly impact the approach or landing.
The landing rollout was conducted on the ground 20 miles west of PHBK Barking Sands Airport Kekaha, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of 4 ft above sea level. The distance required to bring the aircraft to a stop was 1,828 ft, which was slightly longer than expected. Overall, the landing was scored 65.7%, reflecting the satisfactory approach quality and controlled descent, but the hard touchdown rate and excessive touchdown point length.
