MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 251 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,804 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 589 m past the threshold — beyond 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 36 at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 667 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from 174 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 7,085 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,750 feet from the initial altitude of 1,335 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead White River Junction in Vermont, and the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 2 miles south of Enfield in New Hampshire. This cruise phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles northwest of Hampstead in New Hampshire, descending from 6,665 feet to 5,029 feet in 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 1 mile south of Goddard Field in Haverhill, Massachusetts, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The descent phase started 2 miles west of Boxford in Massachusetts, with the aircraft descending from 4,568 feet to 3,408 feet in 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 1 mile southwest of Danvers in Massachusetts, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles.
The descent phase started 4 miles northeast of Hull in Massachusetts, with the aircraft descending from 2,974 feet to 1,465 feet in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 1 mile east of Hingham in Massachusetts, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 315.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33L was successful, with the touchdown point being 153 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 70 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from 60 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 727 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 118 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 123 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed on runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was found to be above the target speed of 76 kt, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 70 kt was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -146 fpm was smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
The landing distance of 727 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline, which may have required the pilot to make some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 5 kt at 60°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt, which may have had some impact on the aircraft's performance during the landing. Overall, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, resulting in a successful landing with a score of 94.1%.
