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 4.8°.
What happened: The wings held 4.8° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 10° 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
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 272 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 181 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,804 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 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 to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 01 at KRUT Rutland - Southern Vermont Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 653 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 185 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of KRUT Rutland - Southern Vermont Regional Airport, rising from 1,723 feet above sea level to 7,065 feet above sea level in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles east of Mendon, Vermont, and lasted for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Chester, New Hampshire, descending from 6,952 feet above sea level to 3,130 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 2 miles northeast of Middleton, Massachusetts, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 5 miles northeast of Hull, Massachusetts, descending from 3,142 feet above sea level to 2,169 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 315.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 33L, which had a length of 2,804 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 75 knots.
The touchdown point was 85 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 66 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -150 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 15.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 785 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 150 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 141 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed on runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 75 knots. The touchdown point was located 85 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
Upon landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 15.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 785 meters, which accounted for approximately 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the intended landing parameters.
