Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,473 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,473 ft of the 6,693 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,050 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, a small regional airport in Colorado, United States. The Baron 58P aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a takeoff speed of 92 kt and covering a distance of 441 ft, which accounted for 7% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61 °F and a wind speed of 14 kt blowing from the west at 270 °.
As the aircraft lifted off the ground, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb was a gradual one, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 9,382 ft above sea level to a final altitude of 9,710 ft, an increase of 328 ft over a period of 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of less than 1 nm, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
The final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 103.0 ° and flying at an altitude of 660 ft above ground level. The approach was a critical phase of the flight, requiring precise control and navigation to ensure a safe landing.
The landing itself was a bit rough, with the touchdown point being 1,689 ft beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 93 kt was slightly higher than desired, but the touchdown rate of -43 fpm was perfect. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, being 19 ft off the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at departure, with a temperature of 61 °F and a wind speed of 14 kt blowing from the west at 270 °.
The total landing distance was 5,212 ft, which accounted for 78% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and touchdown. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
The flight was a relatively short one, covering a total distance of 4 nm and lasting 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 lbs of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and economy. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the various phases of the flight.
The Baron 58P aircraft successfully landed at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.0%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 103.0° at 1 nautical mile and 660 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 6,693 feet.
However, there were a few areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was too high at 114 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to slow down more efficiently before touchdown. Additionally, the touchdown point was 1,689 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 93 knots was a little fast. Despite these issues, the touchdown rate was perfect at -43 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and winds of 14 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 14 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, being 19 feet off the centerline. The total landing distance was 5,212 feet, which is 78% of the runway length.
Despite the minor issues, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed management and alignment during the final approach and touchdown phases.
