MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 2.4°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
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 249 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
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: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,779 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 621 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 19 at ENSH Svolvær Airport, Helle. The takeoff distance was 582 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead ENSH Svolvær Airport, Helle Svolvær, and ascended from 216 feet above sea level to 4,552 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,336 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles northwest of ENEN Engeløy Airfield Engeløy and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 11 miles northeast of Loding, descending from 4,994 feet above sea level to 1,514 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,480 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at ENBO Bodø Airport was made from the east, heading 268.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,471 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 25, which had a length of 2,779 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 knots. The touchdown point was 174 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 66 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 778 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 65 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used -149 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ENBO Bodø Airport, achieving a score of 89.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,471 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 2,779 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 knots. The touchdown point was 174 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. However, the touchdown speed of 66 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 778 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown misalignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and speed. The pilot's ability to maintain control and bring the aircraft to a smooth stop was demonstrated by the smooth touchdown rate and the relatively short landing distance.
