Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 285 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 377 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: gear still up and speed above the reference speed.
At the 152 m gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,426 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 01 at BIRK Reykjavik Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,098 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 °C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 340 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead SB19 Reykjavik Reykjavik (Hoefudborgarsvaedi, Iceland). The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 316 meters above sea level to 11,250 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,934.1 meters, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 226 minutes and covered a distance of 1,597 nautical miles. This phase took place 90 miles southwest of Sandgerdi (Sudurnes, Iceland). The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 20 miles north of Alberton (Prince Edward Island, Canada). The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,665 meters above sea level to 362 meters above sea level, a decrease of 11,302.9 meters, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at CYFC Fredericton Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 250.0 ° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 340.2 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 2,426 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6 °C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 290 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 338 meters and a touchdown speed of 116 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -2.1 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,402 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,853 nautical miles, which was covered in a total flight time of 281 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,296 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as M-BEST, successfully landed on runway 27 at CYFC Fredericton Airport with a score of 92.8%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 340.2 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 125 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 338 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard at -2.1 meters per second, suggesting a slightly abrupt touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly hard touchdown rate. The total landing distance was 1,402 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 11.4 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's response to the crosswind and headwind conditions, or it may have been a result of the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score and a good overall performance.
