The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport. The takeoff distance was 647 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Chelsea, Massachusetts, and rising from an altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level to 7,071 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,038 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Middleton, Massachusetts, and lasting for 19 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 63 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 17 miles southeast of KSCU Scarborough Airport in Scarborough, Maine, where the aircraft descended from 7,151 feet above sea level to 1,126 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,025 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 6 miles southeast of South Bristol, Maine, and lasting for 8 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at KRKD Knox County Regional Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 13.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,157 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 03 at KRKD Knox County Regional Airport was characterized by a threshold speed that was well above the target at 79 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 66 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 200 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 855 meters, accounting for 71% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 03 at KRKD Knox County Regional Airport in the TBM 850

Landing Score 88.97 %

Landing Summary

The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed on runway 03 at KRKD Knox County Regional Airport, achieving a score of 89.0%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 13.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,157 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 79 knots.

However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly too long on the approach, or the pilot may have been trying to maintain a higher speed for a longer period. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was also a little fast, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point.

Despite these minor issues, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -106 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 855 meters, which is 71% of the available runway length.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor error in the pilot's control inputs or a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
