MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 6.7°.
What happened: The wings held 6.7° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 6° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 44 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 14 at ENAN Andøya Airport, Andenes, with a takeoff distance of 711 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles south east of ENAN Andøya Airport, Andenes, and reached an altitude of 5,772 feet above sea level, increasing by 4,747 feet in 4 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 8°C and winds of 15 knots at 15°.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 12 miles north of Kasfjord, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent from 5,795 feet to 5,321 feet above sea level, a decrease of 474 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles south east of Harstad, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a climb from 4,809 feet to 6,102 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,293 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles east of Harstad, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent from 6,275 feet to 1,669 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,606 feet in 4 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENEV Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes, was made from the north, heading 178.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,569 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 2,651 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 64 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 38 meters, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -554 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 12°C and winds of 12 knots at 20°.
The total landing distance was 441 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.8 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 71 nautical miles, taking 28 minutes, and the aircraft used 75 kilograms of fuel.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ENEV Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes, with a score of 87.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,569 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 2,651 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 64 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 38 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 64 knots was not particularly noteworthy, as it is a standard speed for landing. The touchdown rate, on the other hand, was quite high at -554 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly hard landing.
One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 17.3 meters. This may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, but the tailwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the misalignment.
The total landing distance was 441 meters, which is 17% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.8 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a continued issue with directional control during the landing roll.
Overall, while the TBM 850 aircraft landed safely, there were some issues with the approach and landing, including a hard touchdown rate and significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment.
