Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 15° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 6,205 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,205 ft of the 7,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,380 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight, operated from Denver International Airport (KDEN) to Eagle County Regional Airport (KEGE), was a complex operation with multiple segments. The aircraft took to the skies from the parking area to the runway and required 26 minutes and 13 nm to taxi. The departure roll from runway 34R was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 4,048 ft, which accounted for 34% of the runway.
The initial flight phase began as the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 145 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 81°F, with winds blowing at 16 kt from 59°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 kt and a headwind of 8 kt.
The enroute climb phase started approximately 2 miles north of KDEN, where the aircraft ascended from a ground elevation of 6,334 ft to 22,652 ft in just 6 minutes and 28 nm. The climb was significant, with an increase of 16,318 ft. Following this climb, the enroute descent phase began 2 miles west of Eldorado Springs. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 23,032 ft to 14,407 ft, a reduction of 8,625 ft over 5 minutes and 34 nm.
The enroute level cruise phase took place 12 miles southwest of Fraser Airport, where the aircraft leveled off and flew for 8 minutes, covering 20 nm. This was followed by another enroute descent, which started 7 miles north of Avon. The aircraft descended from 13,353 ft to 8,292 ft, a reduction of 5,061 ft in 4 minutes and 16 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at KEGE was executed from the east, heading 262°, at an altitude of 1,814 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed safely on the runway, but with some minor issues. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was too high at 146 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 1,386 ft was good, and the touchdown speed of 142 kt was slightly excessive.
A notable aspect of the approach was the hard touchdown rate of -521 fpm. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions during the landing phase were a temperature of 75°F, with winds blowing at 14 kt from 219°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 10 kt.
The flight concluded with the taxiing of the aircraft to the parking area from the runway, which took just 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. Overall, the total flight distance was 118 nm, taking 46 minutes and consuming 1,402 lbs of fuel.
Aircraft C750's landing at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport has been evaluated with a score of 88.5%. The aircraft was on final approach to runway 25 from the east, and despite having some minor discrepancies, the overall landing was satisfactory.
One of the key issues was the threshold height, which was slightly above the target at 58 feet above ground level. This may have necessitated some adjustments for the crew to ensure a safe landing, but as far as the data shows, it did not lead to any significant issues.
The speed at touch down was another concern, coming in at 148 kts, which is higher than the recommended speed for a safe landing. The touchdown speed of 142 kts is also considered excessively fast by aviation standards. This indicates that the crew may need some additional training to adjust their approach speed to meet recommended guidelines.
The aircraft landed with a very hard touchdown rate of -521 feet per minute (fpm), which would have resulted in a significant impact force. This excessive rate necessitates investigation into possible causes such as an overly aggressive flare or insufficient control of the aircraft altitude.
In terms of runway alignment, the aircraft slightly deviated from the centreline during landing, touching down 20 feet to the right of the runway centre. However, during the rollout, alignment was reported to be very good.
Considering the local weather conditions, which featured a wind speed of 14 kt at 219°, the aircraft handled the crosswind of 9 kt and headwind of 10 kt effectively. This suggests that the pilot's control of the aircraft, despite being slightly off-target in some categories, was generally competent under varying conditions.
