Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 72 ft agl was well above target. at 62 %, −1.50 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 23.4 ° at 44 %, −0.75 points
Arrival Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, Landing Lights at 1 %, −0.60 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 36 at KTVL Lake Tahoe Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,223 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south of South Lake Tahoe, California, and ascended from 7,251 feet above sea level to 15,873 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,622 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 5 miles southeast of the CA50 Hughes/Malibu Heliport in Malibu, California, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Coloma, California, and descended from 16,238 feet above sea level to 3,770 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,468 feet in 7 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again overhead Citrus Heights, California, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.

The final descent began 4 miles southwest of West Sacramento, California, and the aircraft descended from 2,991 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,688 feet in 4 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then made a final approach to runway 35L at KSMF Sacramento International Airport from the south, heading 1.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 35L at KSMF Sacramento International Airport was notable for having a threshold height of 73 feet above ground level, which was well above the target, and a threshold speed of 81 knots, which was too high. However, the touchdown distance was good at 1,457 feet, and the touchdown speed at 70 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind of 3 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,837 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 101 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 326 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 35L at KSMF Sacramento International Airport in the TBM 930
Landing Score 85.74 %
Landing Summary

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed on runway 35L at KSMF Sacramento International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the threshold height at 73 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired at the point of touchdown.

Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 81 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 70 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,457 feet was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation during the landing.

The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 149°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,837 feet was 21% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway alignment. These issues can be addressed through further training and practice to ensure that the aircraft lands smoothly and safely on the runway.
