Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 854 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,721 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 76 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Gypsum, Colorado. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 78 °F.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport. The approach was made from the east, with a heading of 262.0 ° and an altitude of 172 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was at 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold at this point.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a threshold speed of 74 knots and a touchdown speed of 65 knots. The touchdown distance was 852 feet, which was 21% of the runway's length. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal at -203 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, being 12 feet off the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 77 °F.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -226 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 262.0° at an altitude of 172 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 25.
The runway length at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport is 7,970 feet, providing a safe margin for the aircraft's landing. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 74 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 852 feet was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 65 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
Despite a slight misalignment of 12 feet from the centerline, the runway touchdown position was still acceptable. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F. The total landing distance of 1,706 feet was 21% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be addressed through adjustments to the approach and landing technique.
