Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 4.9 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 4.9 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,931 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 25 at ENKB Kristiansund Airport, Kvernberget, with a takeoff distance of 611 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 103 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Kristiansund, and climbed from 1,000 feet above sea level to 2,651 feet, an increase of 1,651 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles southwest of Bremsnes, where the aircraft descended from 2,650 feet to 1,259 feet, a decrease of 1,390 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles northwest of Eide and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Tornes, and climbed from 2,185 feet to 4,753 feet, an increase of 2,567 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles southwest of ENFK Gossen Airfield Falkhytta and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent started 1 mile west of Midsund, where the aircraft descended from 5,280 feet to 1,192 feet, a decrease of 4,088 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra, from the northeast, heading 246.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,143 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown point 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 71 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -220 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same as before, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 713 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 59 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 78 kilograms.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra, with a score of 98.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,143 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for runway 24, which has a length of 1,931 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 71 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but it did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing. The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not seem to affect the landing.
The total landing distance was 713 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 98.9%. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and landing phases, and the aircraft responded well to their inputs.
