Flight Score
Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,989 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,454 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the TBM 930 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nm. The departure took place on runway 26L at CYVR Vancouver Intl. The takeoff distance was 1,865 ft, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 111 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 55 °F, with a 5 kn wind coming from 300 ° resulting in a 2 kn crosswind and a 5 kn headwind.
The enroute climb commenced overhead CYVR Vancouver Intl and involved climbing from 1,033 ft above sea level to 30,703 ft above sea level, covering a distance of 42 nm in 15 minutes. Following the climb, the level cruise phase started 3 miles southwest of Peaceful Valley, lasting 23 minutes and covering 100 nm.
The subsequent enroute descent phase began 6 miles west of Malott, descending from 30,761 ft above sea level to 5,642 ft above sea level over a period of 25 minutes, covering 97 nm. Another brief level cruise segment began overhead Medical Lake, lasting 11 minutes and covering 6 nm.
A go-around was executed on runway 03 at KGEG Spokane Intl at 4,105 ft above ground level. The landing eventually took place on the same runway, with a touchdown point 1,388 ft from the threshold. The touchdown speed was 65 kn, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -269 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,710 ft, which represented 16% of the runway's length. The local weather at the time of landing was 48 °F, with a 4 kn wind coming from 140 ° resulting in a 4 kn crosswind and 0 kn headwind.
To conclude, the flight covered a total distance of 258 nm, took 104 minutes to complete, and consumed 508 lbs of fuel.
