Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.

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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 297 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Telluride Regional Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, a journey that took approximately 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 27, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 7,006-foot runway. The takeoff distance covered 48% of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 127 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 53°F and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 19°, with a slight tailwind component of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from Telluride Regional Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 9,818 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 30,005 feet, a vertical gain of 20,186 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 57 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 30,005 feet for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nautical miles, the aircraft commenced its enroute descent. This phase began 11 miles west of Poncha Springs and saw the aircraft descend from 29,990 feet to 10,636 feet, a vertical loss of 19,353 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Aspen-Pitkin County Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 33, aligning itself with the runway from the south at a heading of 336.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 108 knots, with a touchdown distance of 297 feet. The touchdown rate was slightly heavy at -707 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline by 20 feet. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a journey that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 151 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 37 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 33 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) from the south, aligning with the runway heading of 336.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 2,922 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, registering at 108 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 297 ft, with a corresponding touchdown speed of 108 kt. Although the touchdown rate was very heavy at -707 fpm, the aircraft maintained control throughout the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 52 °F and a 5 kt headwind, contributed to the overall landing performance.
The total landing distance of 2,081 ft, accounting for 30% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 92.1%, reflecting a satisfactory execution of the landing procedure.
