Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 4.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 9.5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
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.
Touched down 603 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 09 at Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Boston, Massachusetts. The takeoff distance was 726 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 108 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20°C and winds of 10 knots at 70°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Winthrop, Massachusetts, and the aircraft ascended from 1,001 feet above sea level to 6,123 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,122 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Wakefield, Massachusetts, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 4 miles west of Marlow, New Hampshire, and descended from 6,123 feet above sea level to 3,582 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,541 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southeast of Claremont Municipal Airport (KCNH) in Claremont, New Hampshire, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 3 miles east of Windsor, Vermont, and descended from 3,077 feet above sea level to 799 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,278 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at Lebanon Municipal Airport (KLEB) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 352.0° at 0 nautical miles and 226 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 1,584 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 80 knots.
The touchdown point was 167 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 71 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23°C and winds of 6 knots at 279°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 738 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 110 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at KLEB Lebanon Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 91.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 352.0° at 0 nm and 226 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 1,584 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was above the target at 80 kt. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft earlier, resulting in a smoother touchdown. The touchdown point was 167 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 71 kt was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -206 fpm was fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a minor error in navigation. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 6 kt at 279°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 738 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from ideal performance.
