Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,693 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,644 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cockspur PH100 began with a 17-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field). The departure roll from runway 15 covered a distance of 3,106 feet, which was 44% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 107 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 35°F with a 14-knot wind coming from 180°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Aspen, climbing from 8,905 feet above sea level to 14,979 feet above sea level, covering 17 nautical miles in 4 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 7 miles northwest of Crested Butte and lasted 11 minutes, covering 65 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 5 miles east of 0CO6 Flying M, descending from 14,997 feet above sea level to 10,985 feet above sea level, covering 14 nautical miles in 5 minutes.
The landing took place on runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport, with a runway length of 6,693 feet. The height at the threshold was 31 feet above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 115 knots. The touchdown occurred 1,650 feet from the threshold at a speed of 104 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -138 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 37°F with an 11-knot wind coming from 150°, resulting in an 8-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 3,768 feet, which was 56% of the runway length.
After landing, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 105 nautical miles, with a total time of 29 minutes. The flight used 506 pounds of fuel.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 87.7%! This is a commendable score that reflects a high level of skill and proficiency in operating an aircraft during landing.
During the Approach Phase, it is noted that the glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating precision in descending towards the runway at the correct angle. Additionally, maintaining a speed well above the target suggests good control and adherence to safety measures, ensuring a smooth transition towards the landing phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the good threshold height and very good landing flare are indicative of a well-executed descent onto the runway. However, the poor landing heading suggests a slight deviation from the desired direction, which may need to be addressed in future landings to improve alignment and safety.
In the Touchdown Phase, the smooth touchdown rate and speed above target are positive indicators of a controlled and gentle landing. However, landing 258 ft beyond the touchdown zone and 57 ft from the centreline may signify the need for adjustments in approach and touchdown point calculations to ensure better accuracy in future landings.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, while the runway alignment was 60 ft from the centreline, there is room for improvement in ensuring a more precise alignment to enhance safety and efficiency during the landing rollout.
Overall, this landing score reflects a strong performance with areas of strength and opportunities for enhancement. By continuing to focus on precision, alignment, and speed control throughout all phases of landing, further improvement can be achieved in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in aircraft operations.
