Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 39 kt fast at 200 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 4 ft, 7.2 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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.
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 5.2° against the runway's 3°, centreline 3.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,774 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 73 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking to the runway, a movement that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The departure roll was on runway 19 at KWYS Yellowstone Airport. The aircraft used a takeoff distance of 685 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and lifted off at 97 kt. Local weather temperature was 12 °C.
Enroute climb commenced 3 miles south west of West Yellowstone, Montana. The aircraft ascended from 7,428 ft asl to 8,534 ft asl, an increase of 1,106 ft in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
Level cruise began 8 miles south of West Yellowstone and lasted 7 minutes, covering 26 nm.
A subsequent climb started 20 miles north of Alta, Wyoming, raising the altitude from 9,486 ft asl to 10,132 ft asl, an increase of 646 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 6 nm.
Level cruise was then initiated 14 miles north of Alta and persisted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nm.
A further climb began 11 miles north east of Alta, Wyoming, climbing from 10,590 ft asl to 12,657 ft asl, an increase of 2,067 ft in 5 minutes while covering 19 nm.
Descent started 5 miles north of Teton Village, Wyoming, descending from 12,648 ft asl to 8,198 ft asl, a decrease of 4,450 ft in 6 minutes across 27 nm.
Level cruise followed overhead Hoback, Wyoming, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Descent resumed 5 miles south west of Hoback, Wyoming, dropping from 8,429 ft asl to 6,522 ft asl, a decrease of 1,908 ft in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
A final level cruise segment started 1 mile north east of Alpine, Wyoming, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 13 at 46U Alpine was executed from the north west, on a heading of 142.0 ° at 0 nm and -30 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 13, whose length is 1,774 m. Threshold speed was 89 kt, touchdown distance was 73 m, and touchdown speed was 88 kt. Touchdown rate was minus 424 fpm and the touchdown point was 3.8 m off the centreline. Local weather reported temperature 24 °C, wind 3 kt from 90 °, with a 3 kt crosswind and 2 kt headwind.
Total landing distance was 891 m, representing 50 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 114 nm, taking 32 minutes and consuming 155 kg of fuel.
The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 13 at Alpine (46U) from the north-west, maintaining a heading of 142.0° while positioned at 0 nm and -30 ft AGL. Local conditions were 24 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 090°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 89 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly configured for landing.
Touchdown occurred 73 m down the runway at a speed of 88 kt, which was described as good. The touchdown rate was hard at minus 424 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 891 m, representing 50 % of the 1,774 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Focus on moderating the flare to achieve a softer touchdown rate and fine-tune the final alignment to keep the touchdown point within a few metres of the centreline. Preserving the current approach speed and threshold performance will help maintain the high overall score of 95.7 %.
