Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 117 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 25 kt fast at 142 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 117 kt in the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 96 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 125 kt against a target of 96 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 96 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,699 m of the 2,621 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 939 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 28 at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a takeoff distance of 842 m which represented 54 % of the runway. Liftoff occurred at 101 kt. Ambient conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 229°, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft passed overhead Sevierville, Tennessee, ascending from 1,936 ft asl to 3,066 ft asl - a gain of 1,130 ft - in 1 minute while covering 4 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles west of Sevierville and continued for 4 minutes, during which 16 nm were flown.
The final approach to runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport was executed from the north-east on a heading of 222.0° at 4 nm and 1,552 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23L, whose length is 2,625 m, occurred with a threshold height of 57 ft agl that was slightly above target and a threshold speed of 126 kt. The touchdown point was 522 m beyond the touchdown zone, the aircraft touched down at 104 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 94 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at KTYS was 25 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 210°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 6 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,617 m, representing 62 % of the runway, and the runway-rollout alignment was very good.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 26 nm, required 11 minutes, and consumed 39 kg of fuel.
The Cirrus Vision SF50 performed a final approach to runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 222.0° at 4 nm and 1,552 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 25 °C, wind 6 kt from 210°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at 57 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was recorded at 126 kt, noted as excessively high.
Touchdown occurred 522 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 104 kt, described as too fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was -94 fpm, rated excellent, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,617 m, representing 62 % of the runway length, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to bring the threshold speed within target and keep touchdown speed below the excessive value recorded. Aim to achieve touchdown within the prescribed zone to improve landing distance utilization.
