Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 169 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 139 kt against a target of 169 kt, running 30 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 169 kt.
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final to bring the aircraft back down to the glideslope and cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The approach was flown off the glideslope, and crossing the threshold high like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Watch the VASI or PAPI glideslope indication against the threshold crossing height of 50 ft.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 2,581 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 4.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 15° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.0° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.5° off, against a 1° limit and speed 12 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 121 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,483 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, taking approximately 11 minutes to cover the 2-nautical-mile distance. Upon reaching runway 27, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 120 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,307 feet accounted for 34% of the runway length, with the local weather conditions featuring a temperature of 47°F and a headwind of 14 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Telluride Regional Airport, it reached an altitude of 17,013 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,295 feet from the initial 9,718 feet. This climb phase covered 23 nautical miles and was completed in 4 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 9 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 17,000 feet to 10,526 feet, a decrease of 6,475 feet in 5 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of climbs and descents, with the final approach to runway 15 at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport initiated from the north, at an altitude of 295 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 was completed at a speed of 109 knots, with a touchdown distance of 1,418 feet. The touchdown speed was slightly above target, while the touchdown rate was firm at -386 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 3,067 feet accounted for 44% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute to cover the short distance. The total flight distance was 148 nautical miles, with a flight time of 32 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2 pounds.
The final approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) from the north was initiated at 2 nm and 295 ft above ground level, heading 159.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 144 ft above ground level, which was excessively over the target of 100 ft. However, the threshold speed of 111 kt was slightly below the target, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 109 kt, which was a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of -386 fpm was recorded. The touchdown distance of 1,418 ft was good, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 48 °F and a wind of 6 kt at 240°, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing distance of 3,067 ft was 44% of the runway length, which is 7,006 ft. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 87.3%.
