MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 2.7°.
What happened: The wings held 2.7° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 3.4° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 66 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 85 kt, 19 kt above the 66 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 66 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,584 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 573 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 609 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Chelsea, Massachusetts, where the aircraft ascended from 1,051 feet above sea level to 6,083 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,032 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north of Wilmington, Massachusetts, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles northwest of Springfield, New Hampshire, where it descended from 6,092 feet above sea level to 1,786 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,306 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport was made from the north, heading 167.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,219 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a total landing distance of 714 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots, and the touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 105 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used -112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 167.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,219 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 1,584 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 85 knots. The touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed a bit farther down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was a bit fast, but the touchdown rate of -75 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 160°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the runway was aligned with the wind direction, which helped to minimize the impact of the wind on the landing.
The total landing distance of 714 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to stop safely. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the threshold speed, touchdown point, and runway rollout alignment. These issues can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance.
