Flight Score
Departure
Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.8 g.
What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.8 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.
Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on final to hold 100 kt over the threshold.
What happened: Threshold speed was 8 kt below VREF at 92 kt, and a slow threshold crossing like this usually carries through to a hard touchdown at 0.7 g.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 100 kt at the threshold
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,102 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.01 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll commenced on runway 25, with the aircraft utilizing 50% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 102 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14 °C, with a wind of 13 knots at 90°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 13-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft departed KEGE, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Gypsum, Colorado. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 7,017 feet above sea level to 12,640 feet, an increase of 5,623 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 42 minutes and covered 113 nautical miles. The cruise phase commenced 12 miles northeast of Woody Creek, Colorado. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent, which began 6 miles west of the CO68 Frederick-Firestone F.S. #2 Heliport in Frederick, Colorado. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease from 14,335 feet to 10,377 feet, a decrease of 3,958 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 106.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 09, which featured a length of 2,040 meters. The threshold height was good, with the threshold speed also meeting expectations at 92 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 87 knots was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,296 meters, accounting for 64% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 162 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 69 minutes and a fuel consumption of 79 kilograms.
The aircraft, NI22PC, began its final approach to runway 09 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport from the west, aligning with the heading of 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also well-managed, reaching 92 knots as the aircraft crossed the threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 87 knots, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 425 meters was within acceptable limits, and the aircraft's ability to maintain control during the landing phase was evident. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor control issue during the final stages of the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft tracking closely to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,296 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.5% reflecting the pilot's skill and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
