The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear. The aircraft, a TBM 850, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 100 kt, covering a distance of 145 m, which was 7% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 6 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt from a direction of 259 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt and a tailwind of 9 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 241 ft asl to 3,944 ft asl, an increase of 3,703 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm. The climb was a steep one, with the aircraft gaining altitude at a rate of 740 ft per minute.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 11 miles west of the airport. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,930 ft asl to 3,298 ft asl, a decrease of 632 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. The descent was a relatively short one, with the aircraft losing altitude at a rate of 316 ft per minute.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nm. This cruise phase allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and airspeed, conserving fuel and reducing the workload on the pilots.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 10, which was located to the west. The approach was made from a heading of 105.0 °, at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,251 ft agl. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 °C and a wind speed of 11 kt from a direction of 250 °, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kt and a tailwind of 9 kt.
The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,127 m. The threshold height at 60 ft agl was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 80 kt. However, the touchdown distance was good at 472 m, and the touchdown speed at 70 kt was only a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 645 m, which was 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 31 nm, taking 13 minutes to complete, and used 35 kg of fuel. The flight was a successful one, with the pilots demonstrating good flying skills and a high degree of situational awareness.

The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear, with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 105.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for runway 10, which has a length of 2,127 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was slightly above the target height at 60 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 80 knots, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 472 meters, which is a significant achievement considering the challenging Arctic environment.
The touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions.
The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 5°C and wind speeds of 11 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the tailwind was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during touchdown. Despite these conditions, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing.
Overall, the TBM 850 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the aircraft's performance was generally excellent, and the pilot's skills were evident throughout the approach and landing.
