Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 134 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 55 kt fast at 189 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt in the climb
Arrival
Set landing flap before the stabilisation gate so the approach is flown in the landing configuration.
What happened: Landing flap was not set by the approach gate, and the threshold was crossed fast at 89 kt against 80 kt. Missing the flap setting usually carries extra speed all the way to the threshold.
Watch for: Flap position against the gate requirement, and airspeed against 80 kt at the threshold.
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,444 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 440 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
On runway 33 at SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport the departure roll used a takeoff distance of 731 m, equal to 27 % of the runway, and liftoff was achieved at 98 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 30 °C with wind calm at 0 kt and no cross- or head-wind component.
Climb began 2 mi west of Barcelona, Venezuela, where the aircraft rose from 912 ft asl to 4 998 ft asl, gaining 4 086 ft in 4 minutes while traversing 17 nm.
The first level cruise started 4 mi southeast of Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, and continued for 59 minutes, covering 246 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mi south of TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, Tobago, with a reduction from 5 490 ft asl to 1 532 ft asl, a loss of 3 958 ft in 5 minutes over 20 nm.
A second level cruise commenced 15 mi west of TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nm.
Final approach to runway 11 at TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 94.0° at 4 nm and 1 232 ft agl.
Landing on runway 11, whose length is 2 444 m, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 90 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 440 m down the runway, at 79 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 135 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was 29 °C with wind 4 kt from 80°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 4 kt.
The total landing distance measured 795 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment remained perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 303 nm, required 79 minutes, and consumed 271 kg of fuel.
The TBM 930 on a final approach to runway 11 at TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport was aligned on a heading of 94.0° from 4 nm out and 1,232 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 90 kt.
Touchdown occurred 440 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 79 kt was a little fast, the vertical rate was smooth at minus 135 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 795 m, representing 33 % of the 2,444 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce touchdown speed by a few knots to meet the target speed, and fine-tune flare timing to achieve the desired speed without compromising a smooth rate.
