MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Smooth your pitch and roll inputs during the climb so the g force stays close to 1 g instead of spiking.
What happened: During the third climb segment the g force swung to 1 g, well outside the steady level flight band.
Watch for: Watch the g-meter and keep it settled near the normal one g climb band.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 112 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 111 kt against a VREF of 112 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 112 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 42 kt FAST on the reference speed of 112 kt.
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 180 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing KHWO North Perry Airport, the PC-24 VIP aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. Runway 10R was selected for departure, and the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 114 knots, achieving lift-off within 80% of the 680-meter runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28°C, with a gentle headwind of 8 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 27,999 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 24 minutes and covered 126 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a second climb phase, increasing its altitude from 28,007 feet to 37,995 feet in 9 minutes, covering 59 nautical miles. The final cruise phase lasted for 189 minutes, covering a significant distance of 1,276 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, reducing its altitude from 37,996 feet to 10,490 feet in 15 minutes, covering 83 nautical miles.
The PC-24 VIP aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 105.0° and an altitude of 1,400 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 108 knots, achieving a touchdown distance of 182 meters and a touchdown rate of -414 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,608 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 260 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,852 kilograms.
The aircraft, a PC-24 VIP, successfully executed a final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport from the west, aligning with the heading of 105.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,400 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 111 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 182 meters, with a touchdown speed of 108 knots, also within the desired parameters.
However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than ideal, at -414 feet per minute, which may have resulted in a slight jolt for the passengers. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle tailwind of 4 knots, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further facilitated a stable approach and touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 685 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway's length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 97.2% reflecting the crew's exceptional skills and the aircraft's capabilities.
