Configure earlier
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 619 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 103 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 16 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. After departing from Frankfurt, the enroute climb started 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Hessen, Germany, where the aircraft climbed from 1,311 feet above sea level to 13,606 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,295 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began overhead Dolgesheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile east of Messerich, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and descended from 13,996 feet above sea level to 6,992 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,004 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Beaufort, Canton d'Echternach, Luxembourg, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Berdorf, Canton d'Echternach, Luxembourg, and descended from 7,011 feet above sea level to 4,005 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,007 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed once again overhead Wecker, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (ELUX) was made from the north-east, heading 240.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,746 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 at ELLX was made with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 94 knots. The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 77 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 856 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 115 nautical miles, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 131 kilograms of fuel.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 240.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,746 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 3,989 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 94 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown, potentially improving the overall landing performance. The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been slightly late in initiating the flare.
The touchdown speed of 77 knots was also reported as fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, with a relatively calm and stable atmosphere.
The total landing distance was 856 meters, which represents 21% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, demonstrating good control and precision during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed. However, the pilot's control and precision during the landing were excellent, and the landing distance was relatively short.
