Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 9.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 994 ft 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then departed from runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field), with a takeoff distance of 1,172 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Aspen, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude from 8,525 feet above sea level to 12,732 feet above sea level, a total increase of 4,207 feet. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 44 degrees Fahrenheit.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 4 miles northeast of Woody Creek. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles east of Basalt. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude from 12,634 feet above sea level to 9,183 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 3,452 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Gypsum and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent that followed began 3 miles northwest of Eagle and took 3 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent resulted in a decrease in altitude from 8,611 feet above sea level to 7,428 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 1,183 feet.
The final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 265.0 degrees at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 962 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 7,970 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was well above the target speed at 85 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 993 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 73 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -176 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 2,003 feet, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 40 nautical miles, and the flight took 24 minutes to complete, using 26 pounds of fuel.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 962 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 25, which has a length of 7,970 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 85 kt, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 993 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude.
However, the touchdown speed of 73 kt was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher rate of descent. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -176 fpm was still within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's precision and skill.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. Despite this, the pilot successfully navigated the landing, demonstrating their expertise and adaptability.
The total landing distance of 2,003 feet was 25% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 98.8%.
