MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,102 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 66 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Phenom 300E taxied from the parking area to runway 26L at KLGB Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field) in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26L, the aircraft used 686 m of runway, representing 57 % of the available length, and lifted off at 124 kt; ambient temperature was 21 °C.
Climb commenced overhead Signal Hill, with the aircraft ascending from 1,042 ft asl to 42,077 ft asl, a gain of 41,035 ft achieved in 14 minutes while covering 86 nm.
Cruise was conducted in three segments: the first level segment began over 27CA Holiday Ranch Airport, Apple Valley, and lasted 45 minutes for 387 nm; the second segment started 12 mi north of Dolores, Colorado, and lasted 2 minutes for 9 nm; the third segment began 5 mi south of Norwood, Colorado, and lasted 3 minutes for 10 nm.
Descent was performed in three stages: the initial descent began 7 mi south of UT74 Fry Canyon Field, Hite, Utah, dropping from 42,312 ft asl to 15,022 ft asl-a loss of 27,290 ft in 12 minutes over 91 nm; the second descent started 19 mi south of Norwood, Colorado, descending from 15,016 ft asl to 12,851 ft asl, a decrease of 2,165 ft in 3 minutes covering 14 nm; the final descent commenced 6 mi southwest of CO68 Frederick-Firestone F.S. #2 Heliport, Frederick, Colorado, falling from 12,297 ft asl to 10,528 ft asl, a loss of 1,769 ft in 2 minutes for 5 nm.
The final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport was executed from the west on a heading of 105.0° at 4 nm and 1,478 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09, which is 2,102 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 103 kt, touchdown distance of 67 m, touchdown speed of 101 kt, and a heavy touchdown rate of minus 648 fpm; total landing distance was 837 m, representing 40 % of the runway. Local weather reported a temperature of 11 °C, wind 7 kt from 130°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 608 nm, took 90 minutes, and consumed 737 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits while the aircraft was on a heading of 105.0° at 4 NM and 1,478 ft agl. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 7 kt from 130°, providing a 6 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 103 kt, slightly below the target, and achieved a good touchdown distance of 67 m with a good threshold height. The runway length is 2,102 m.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 101 kt, noted as a little fast, and the aircraft experienced a heavy touchdown rate of minus 648 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 837 m, representing 40 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was very good and the aircraft continued along the centreline to the end of the runway.
The high overall score indicates a solid performance; refining the flare to reduce touchdown speed to the target and moderating the sink rate will further improve the landing quality.
