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 99 kt over the threshold.
What happened: Threshold speed was 8 kt below VREF at 91 kt, and a slow threshold crossing like this usually carries through to a hard touchdown at 0.7 g.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 99 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 and wings 16° of bank, against a 10° limit.
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 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 240 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.98 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to runway 31 at KMTJ Montrose Regional Airport took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600, NI22PC, then began its departure roll, utilizing 63% of the 1,436-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 100 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 240°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of KMTJ Montrose Regional Airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 6,824 feet above sea level to 11,472 feet above sea level, a vertical gain of 4,648 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 4 miles west of Crawford, Colorado, and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 63 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase began 2 miles southwest of Goldys Field, Gypsum, Colorado, with the aircraft descending from 10,785 feet above sea level to 7,733 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,052 feet, in 4 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 260.0° at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level, 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 84 knots, utilizing 29% of the 2,429-meter runway. The touchdown distance was 237 meters, and the touchdown rate was -160 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in approximately 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 95 nautical miles, and the flight utilized 40 kilograms of fuel, lasting a total of 36 minutes.
The final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport was executed from the east, heading 260.0° at 3 nm and 1,255 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 91 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft, NI22PC, touched down smoothly at a speed of 84 kt, with a touchdown rate of -160 fpm, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown distance of 237 m, which was well within the acceptable range for the runway length of 2,429 m. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind of 21 kt at 280°, resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 20 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The rollout phase was also executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the centerline. The total landing distance of 705 m, which accounted for 29% of the runway, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.2%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
