Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 86 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 97 kt, 11 kt above the 86 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 86 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The roll
The nose wandered in the climb
From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 6.0° and 12.5°, and the speed between 94 kt and 134 kt.
Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 612 m runway.
Rolled from 60 m in, drifted 2.1 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 94 % of the way down the runway, past the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 989 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft 143 m past the runway end; gear up at 26 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,280 fpm on average to 989 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 44 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 36 ft. Touched down 396 m in, 92 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 630 fpm at the flare to 190 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.3° on the way down. Into the flare at 97 kt, 11 kt over the 86 kt approach speed, and 84 kt at touchdown.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,689 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.5 m left at the widest. No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt tail · 0 kt across
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 88 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 22 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
The rest of the report
The TBM 850 departed Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield (EGCJ) from runway 28L, accelerating down a 578 m take-off run that represented 94 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 88 kt while the local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, a wind of 2 kt from 270°, zero cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft passed overhead the airfield and rose from 1,046 ft asl to 3,342 ft asl, a gain of 2,296 ft in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
Cruise commenced 2 mi south-west of Scholes in the City and Borough of Leeds and was maintained for 42 minutes, during which 159 nm were flown.
The descent began 1 mi west of Hannington, Hampshire, with the aircraft descending from 3,340 ft asl to 676 ft asl, a loss of 2,664 ft in 4 minutes and a distance of 11 nm.
The approach concluded on runway 09 at Lasham Airfield (EGHL), whose length is 1,689 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 98 kt and the touchdown speed recorded was 84 kt.
Touchdown occurred 396 m down the runway with a vertical speed of minus 88 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the centreline. The total landing distance measured 849 m, representing 50 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 180 nm, taking 55 and consuming 156 kg of fuel.
