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 2.3°.
What happened: The wings held 2.3° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 4.2° 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
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 66 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 85 kt, 19 kt above the 66 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 66 kt at the threshold.
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 1,667 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A TBM 930 aircraft departed Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield, taking off from runway 28L with an initial liftoff speed of 82 kt. The takeoff distance covered 65% of the runway's length, which is 397 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind of 1 kt at 270 degrees, resulting in a zero crosswind and a 1 kt headwind, which had only a minimal effect on the aircraft's performance.
The enroute climb started shortly after the aircraft took off, as it ascended from an initial altitude of 1,143 ft above sea level to 1,702 ft, a gain of 559 ft, in less than a minute and covering a distance of 1 nm. This rapid ascent was achieved with minimal effort, a testament to the aircraft's capabilities.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nm. This phase of flight allowed the aircraft to stabilize at a consistent altitude and speed, making the most efficient use of fuel.
The final approach to runway 32 at Leeds Bradford Airport was initiated from a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 758 ft above ground level, with a heading of 317.0 degrees. The aircraft's approach speed was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed, coming in at 85 kt, but the landing distance was good at 390 m, covering 40% of the runway's length.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 74 kt, which was slightly higher than the recommended speed, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a good landing. The taxying to the parking area from the runway took less than a minute and covered less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 17 nm, and the flight lasted 7 minutes, consuming 24 kg of fuel.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 758 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 32, which has a length of 1,667 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was too high at 85 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 390 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was reported as fast. This may indicate that the pilot could have reduced the speed further before touchdown, potentially reducing the impact on the aircraft and the runway. The touchdown rate of -120 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 15°C, with a wind of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, indicating that the wind was relatively light and not a significant factor in the landing.
The total landing distance of 663 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown.
