Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 181 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 158 kt against a target of 181 kt, running 23 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 181 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 100 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 120 kt against a target of 100 kt, 20 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 100 kt by the gate and held to 100 kt at the threshold.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 20 kt FAST on the reference speed of 100 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 502 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH), the Skyward C680 D-CAWS began its journey with a taxiing period of 9 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 537 meters, accounting for 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 127 knots, with a local temperature of 26°C and a wind of 4 knots at 310°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Hamburg, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 42,987 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering 110 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 72 minutes and spanned 480 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile east of Bellingwolde, Netherlands. The cruise phase was punctuated by several descent and climb segments, including a notable descent from 42,970 feet to 40,337 feet in 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft ultimately descended to 2,385 feet above sea level, 6 miles east of Clogherhead, Ireland, before making a final climb to 8,342 feet, 1 mile northeast of Dundalk, Ireland.
The Skyward C680 D-CAWS concluded its journey with a final approach to runway 35 at Belfast International Airport (EGAA), landing with a touchdown speed of 107 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute. The aircraft touched down 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,189 meters, accounting for 66% of the runway length. Following a taxiing period of 5 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 741 nautical miles and consuming 1,443 kilograms of fuel during the 124-minute flight.
The final approach to runway 35 at EGAA Belfast International Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 343.0° at 4 nm and 1,550 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 121 kt. The aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 107 kt, with a touchdown rate of -132 fpm, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown point was 77 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a manageable distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline, but the rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and correct for any deviations. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a 5 kt headwind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,189 m, which accounted for 66% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, earning a score of 99.4%. The pilot's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown, despite a slight deviation from the centreline, was a testament to their skill and experience.
