Flight Score
Arrival
Add power on approach to bring the speed up to 92 kt before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: The approach was already slow at the stabilisation gate, and a slow gate like that usually carries through to a slow threshold crossing - here 81 kt against the 92 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 92 kt on approach, carrying through to 92 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 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 92 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,491 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 443 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that required 11 minutes and covered 3 nm.
Take-off was executed on runway 06R at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport; the ground roll measured 381 m, representing 15 % of the runway length, and liftoff was achieved at 95 kt. Local conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of LEPA, with the aircraft ascending from 1,215 ft asl to 24,994 ft asl, a gain of 23,779 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 54 nm.
The first cruise segment began 24 nm south of Ses Salines and lasted 12 minutes, during which 55 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 73 nm north of Ain Benian, the aircraft descending from 24,996 ft asl to 5,995 ft asl, a loss of 19,001 ft in 12 minutes over a distance of 58 nm.
A brief cruise followed, originating 18 nm north-east of Ain Benian, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The next descent began 11 nm north-east of Ain Benian, with altitude decreasing from 5,328 ft asl to 4,003 ft asl, a reduction of 1,325 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
A short cruise segment then started 5 nm north-east of Ain Benian, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 5 nm.
Subsequent descent commenced 1 nm north of Cheraga, the aircraft dropping from 3,991 ft asl to 1,542 ft asl, a loss of 2,449 ft in 5 minutes and covering 11 nm.
Final approach to runway 09 at DAAG Houari Boumediene Airport involved a descent from 1,519 ft agl to 263 ft agl in 152 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 09 was performed on a runway 3,491 m long; the threshold height of 59 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed of 81 kt was a little below target. Touchdown occurred 440 m down the runway at 74 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 68 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.0 m from the centreline. Ambient conditions were 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 0 kt and tail-wind 2 kt.
The rollout distance measured 884 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, a movement that took 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 204 nm, took 71 minutes, and consumed 176 kg of fuel.
The TBM 850 executed a stabilised approach to runway 09 at DAAG Houari Boumediene Airport, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits as assessed at the 1,000 ft gate. The aircraft descended from 1,519 ft agl to 263 ft agl in 152 seconds, encountering temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 0 kt and tail-wind 2 kt.
At the threshold the aircraft was slightly high, with a threshold height of 59 ft agl above the target, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 81 kt.
Touchdown occurred 440 m from the runway threshold at a speed of 74 kt, with an excellent touchdown rate of minus 68 fpm. Lateral alignment was slightly off, the touchdown point being 4.0 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 884 m, representing 25 % of the 3,491 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
The 96.3 % score reflects a strong performance; minor refinements should focus on achieving the exact target threshold altitude and tightening lateral alignment to keep the touchdown point within centreline tolerance.
