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 2.2°.
What happened: The wings held 2.2° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 9.2° 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.
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 seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,523 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,523 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 227 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 645 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Chelsea, Massachusetts, and ascending from 1,029 feet above sea level to 7,271 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,243 feet in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of Middleton, Massachusetts, and lasting 12 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 80 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 1 mile south of Yarmouth, Maine, and descending from 7,249 feet above sea level to 6,318 feet above sea level, a decrease of 931 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, starting overhead Freeport, Maine, and ascending from 6,302 feet above sea level to 7,277 feet above sea level, an increase of 975 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of ME10 Enman Field, Maine, and lasting 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles north west of Bowdoinham, Maine, and descending from 7,055 feet above sea level to 1,575 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,481 feet in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 35 at KAUG Augusta State Airport, approaching from the south east and heading 335.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 35 at KAUG Augusta State Airport, which had a length of 1,523 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 75 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 225 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -175 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 209 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 568 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 133 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -96 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at KAUG Augusta State Airport, achieving a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 335.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 35, which has a length of 1,523 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 above the target speed of 75 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been a bit aggressive in their approach. The touchdown distance of 225 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 70 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 209°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the tailwind component was 3 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain good control over the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 568 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 97.9%.
