Flight Score
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,631 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,631 m of the 2,040 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 852 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KPWT Bremerton National Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 20, with a takeoff distance of 251 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 26 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 26 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KPWT Bremerton National Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,484 feet above sea level to 33,013 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,529 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 8 miles south of Packwood, Washington, and lasted for 104 minutes, covering a distance of 714 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 11 miles northwest of Hubbard Airport Gateway in Colorado, where it descended from 32,967 feet above sea level to 10,672 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,295 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport was made from the west, heading 105.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,594 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 0 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 09, with a runway length of 2,040 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 460 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -444 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 0°, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,574 meters, accounting for 77% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 880 nautical miles, taking 153 minutes, and the aircraft used 230 kilograms of fuel.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 105.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,594 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which has a length of 2,040 meters.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 178 kt, which is a concern as it may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. The touchdown point was also 460 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended.
The touchdown speed of 121 kt was also found to be too fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -444 fpm. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, which may have affected the aircraft's stability during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 12 kt at 0°. However, the crosswind component was 12 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,574 meters, which is 77% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed, improving the touchdown speed, and ensuring better alignment with the runway centerline.
