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 5.3°.
What happened: The wings held 5.3° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 3.3° 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
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 1.9° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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 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 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 894 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 18 at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 739 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 189 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of North Hartland, Vermont. The climb took 4 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,728 feet above sea level to 7,056 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles south of Springfield, New Hampshire. This phase of the flight lasted 12 minutes and covered 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Hampstead, New Hampshire. The descent took 6 minutes and covered 21 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 7,056 feet to 1,976 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Wenham, Massachusetts. This phase of the flight lasted 3 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of Lynn, Massachusetts. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 2,097 feet to 1,294 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 199.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22L, which had a length of 2,329 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 78 knots.
The touchdown point was 453 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 62 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 999 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 103 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 40 minutes. The aircraft used 106 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport, with a score of 88.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 199.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a clear path to land on runway 22L, which has a length of 2,329 meters.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 78 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach. The touchdown point was 453 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant distance, but the touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively high rate, but it did not result in any issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 130°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 999 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop in a relatively short distance was impressive, and the landing was completed with a high degree of precision.
