Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 138 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 112 kt against a target of 138 kt, running 26 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 138 kt.
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 129 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 129 fpm next time
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,315 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 13, the take-off run measured 632 m, representing 58 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 93 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Barbera del Valles, rising from 1,369 ft asl to 20,447 ft asl - an increase of 19,078 ft - in 12 minutes while covering 32 nm.
The first cruise segment began 16 miles south of LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport and continued for 10 minutes, during which 44 nm were flown.
Descent started 33 miles north of Port de Soller, descending from 20,991 ft asl to 5,008 ft asl - a loss of 15,983 ft - in 8 minutes and covering 34 nm.
A second cruise phase originated 1 mile west of Escorca, lasting 7 minutes and encompassing 25 nm.
The next descent began 1 mile north of Peguera, dropping from 4,994 ft asl to 3,962 ft asl - a reduction of 1,032 ft - in 2 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
A third cruise segment started 4 miles south-west of Camp de Mar, persisted for 3 minutes and covered 9 nm.
The final descent was initiated 1 mile south-east of Son Ferrer, falling from 3,569 ft asl to 1,466 ft asl - a decrease of 2,103 ft - in 2 minutes over a distance of 6 nm.
On final approach to runway 06L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,512 ft agl to 269 ft agl in 135 seconds, scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06L, whose length is 3,315 m, was executed with a threshold speed of 91 kt. Touchdown occurred at 449 m down the runway with a speed of 79 kt and a vertical rate of minus 129 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 716 m, representing 22 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 163 nm, required 57 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 152 kg of fuel.
The TBM 850 approached runway 06L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits; the descent was from 1,512 ft agl to 269 ft agl in 135 seconds and the approach earned full marks on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 91 kt.
Touchdown occurred 449 m down the runway at a good speed of 79 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 129 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment; the total landing distance was 716 m, representing 22 % of the 3,315 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft kept very good alignment along the runway centreline.
All phases received high ratings; to preserve the excellent margin, continue to aim for the standard 300 m (1,000 ft) touchdown point and maintain the current touchdown speed consistency.
