Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 5.6° 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.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,584 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 868 m past the threshold — beyond 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 27 at KBOS Logan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 690 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 89 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead South Boston, Massachusetts. The climb took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,048 feet above sea level to 6,247 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,199 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Reading, Massachusetts. This cruise phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles west of Marlow, New Hampshire. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 6,101 feet above sea level to 2,264 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,837 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles northeast of Charlestown, New Hampshire. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles east of Windsor, Vermont. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,328 feet above sea level to 1,590 feet above sea level, a decrease of 738 feet.
The final approach to runway 36 at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,028 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 1,584 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 74 knots.
The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 279 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,015 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 108 nautical miles, and the flight took 49 minutes. The aircraft used 115 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,028 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 36, which has a length of 1,584 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, coming in at 74 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. This may have been due to the aircraft's speed at touchdown, which was reported as 70 knots. While this speed is not excessively high, it may have contributed to the long touchdown point. The touchdown rate, however, was good at -189 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 279°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,015 meters, which is 64% of the available runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it may have been necessary given the aircraft's speed and the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there may be opportunities for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and landing distance.
