MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 6° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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: gear still up and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,842 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 91 m touchdown sits inside 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 42 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 24 at KSBD San Bernardino International Airport. The takeoff distance was 767 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Colton, California, and lasting 5 minutes while covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The flight then entered an enroute climb phase, starting 2 miles east of Rancho Cucamonga, California. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,555 feet above sea level to 3,796 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,241 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northwest of KCCB Cable Airport Upland, California, and lasting 3 minutes while covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The flight then entered another enroute climb phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Azusa, California. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 3,848 feet above sea level to 6,643 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,795 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northwest of KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport Burbank, California, and lasting 13 minutes while covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The flight then entered an enroute descent phase, starting 2 miles southeast of Oak View, California. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 6,660 feet above sea level to 802 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,858 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase, starting 1 mile southwest of Santa Barbara, California. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 799 feet above sea level to 1,655 feet above sea level, an increase of 856 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport was made from the east, heading 256.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,638 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 360 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 78 meters and a touchdown speed of 69 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -382 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 307 meters, which is 17% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 148 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 200 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,638 feet above ground level.
The pilot executed a precise landing, taking into account the runway length of 1,842 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 70 knots was well below the target, indicating a cautious approach to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 78 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate of -382 feet per minute was firm, but not excessively hard, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady course and avoided any deviations from the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 360°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was negligible at 0 knots. As a result, the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. The total landing distance of 307 meters was only 17% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a steady course and avoided any deviations from the centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control.
