MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 2.6°.
What happened: The wings held 2.6° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 2.8° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 260 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 340 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 5.1° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 800 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 800 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 99 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 25 at ENBO Bodø Airport in Norway. The takeoff distance was 670 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 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 a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of ENBO Bodø Airport and rising from an altitude of 1,002 feet above sea level to 5,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,007 feet in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles south east of Inndyr, Norway, and lasting for 8 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began, starting 13 miles north east of Storforshei, Norway, and descending from 4,995 feet above sea level to 2,678 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,317 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles east of Storforshei, Norway, and lasting for 2 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began again, starting 4 miles south of Storforshei, Norway, and descending from 2,292 feet above sea level to 538 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,754 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at ENRA Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll, was made from the south east, heading 320.0° at an altitude of 299 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 800 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 69 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 96 meters, and the touchdown speed was 63 knots, which was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. 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 a direction of 270°. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 212 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 72 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 75 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ENRA Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll, with an impressive score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, heading 320.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 299 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 69 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 96 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 63 knots was well within the recommended limits.
The touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively hard, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down smoothly and safely. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's excellent control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 212 meters was only 27% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and precision even after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and the TBM 850 aircraft's excellent performance and handling characteristics.
