MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Make one smooth, continuous back-pressure through the flare to about 6.7° nose-up, holding it steady rather than pumping the elevator before touchdown.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing several times as the sink was most arrested at 8.6 ft; pumped flares like this usually carry through to a firm touchdown, which happened here at 206 fpm.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold a steady nose-up pitch of 6.7° through the flare, smoothly to touchdown.
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.
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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,640 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 574 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TBM 850 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm before lining up for take-off.
Departure roll was executed on runway 07 at LICJ Falcone-Borsellino Airport; the aircraft accelerated through a take-off distance of 651 m, representing 20 % of the runway, and rotated at 92 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of LICJ, where the aircraft rose from 1,192 ft asl to 18,998 ft asl, an altitude gain of 17,805 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 31 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile south of Monreale and lasted 30 minutes, during which 141 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started overhead Maierato, with the aircraft descending from 18,990 ft asl to 3,011 ft asl, a loss of 15,979 ft in 7 minutes while traversing 28 nm.
A second cruise phase originated 3 miles west of Falerna, lasting 19 minutes and covering 64 nm.
The next descent began 2 miles south-east of Giffone, dropping from 3,297 ft asl to 1,783 ft asl, a decrease of 1,514 ft in 3 minutes over 10 nm.
Climb resumed 1 mile north-east of Rosarno, gaining 1,567 ft from 1,779 ft asl to 3,347 ft asl in 3 minutes while covering 9 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 mile south of Zungri, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 5 nm.
Descent then started overhead San Gregorio d'Ippona, falling from 3,502 ft asl to 1,949 ft asl, a loss of 1,553 ft in 3 minutes across 11 nm.
Another short cruise began 2 miles north-west of Francavilla Angitola, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.
The final descent commenced 2 miles west of San Pietro a Maida, descending from 1,803 ft asl to 729 ft asl, a reduction of 1,074 ft in 2 minutes over 3 nm.
During the final approach to runway 28 at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, the aircraft descended from 989 ft agl to 158 ft agl in 76 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 28 was completed with a threshold speed of 85 kt, a touchdown point 136 m beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 61 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 207 fpm. The runway length is 2,640 m; total landing distance was 802 m (30 % of the runway). Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component. Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 314 nm, took 90 minutes and consumed 252 kg of fuel.
