Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 13 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 13 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,584 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 119 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 27 at Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Boston, Massachusetts. The takeoff distance was 688 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 101 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 289 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,022 feet above sea level to 6,212 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,190 feet in just 4 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile east of Burlington, Massachusetts, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles north of Sunapee, New Hampshire, where it descended from an altitude of 5,698 feet above sea level to 677 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,021 feet in just 4 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at Lebanon Municipal Airport (KLEB) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 2.0 degrees at an altitude of 114 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 69 knots. The touchdown distance was 117 meters, which was 17% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was firm at -359 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 98 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 103 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport, achieving an impressive score of 87.8%. The final approach to runway 36 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at an altitude of 114 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 70 knots was also satisfactory, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and adhered to the recommended speed. The touchdown distance of 117 meters was within acceptable limits, further indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly faster than recommended, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -359 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C. The total landing distance of 268 meters was only 17% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to land efficiently and effectively.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good runway alignment, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the TBM 850's performance during this landing was impressive, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and expertise.
