Hold the approach angle
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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 770 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 770 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 79 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24R at LZRU Ružomberok Airfield. The TBM 850 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 100 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 95 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 269 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead LZRU Ružomberok Airfield, where the aircraft transitioned from a low altitude of 1,885 feet above sea level to a higher altitude of 5,701 feet above sea level. This increase of 3,817 feet was achieved in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent 9 miles southwest of Demaenovska Dolina. The descent from 5,717 feet above sea level to 3,855 feet above sea level resulted in a decrease of 1,862 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. This phase began 6 miles north of Hrochot.
The final approach to runway 25 at LZOC Očová Airfield was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 260.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 64 knots. The touchdown distance was 79 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -353 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during the departure, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 269 degrees. The crosswind component was still negligible, while the headwind component remained at 1 knot. The total landing distance was 238 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the TBM 850 aircraft completing a total distance of 32 nautical miles in 12 minutes. The aircraft used 36 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and performance capabilities.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at LZOC Očová Airfield, achieving a high score of 95.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 25, which has a length of 770 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 69 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 79 meters, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was firm at -353 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate considering the aircraft's weight and the runway conditions. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance was 238 meters, which is only 31% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions. The high score of 95.8% reflects the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.
