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 1,756 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,756 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 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 36 at HTZA Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar. The TBM 930 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 698 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 93 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 80 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it reached an altitude of 23,841 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,833 feet from the initial altitude of 1,008 feet. This climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 19 miles southeast of Mahonda, Tanzania, and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 280 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 23,830 feet to 9,312 feet, a decrease of 14,518 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. This was followed by a short level cruise of 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent again from 8,981 feet to 4,917 feet, a decrease of 4,064 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, before beginning its descent from 4,917 feet to 2,149 feet, a decrease of 2,768 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase took place 3 miles west of Ntsaoueni, Comoros, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at FMCH Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 90 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 338 meters.
The touchdown speed was a little fast at 78 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -168 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 255 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,657 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 405 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 104 minutes. The aircraft used 269 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at FMCH Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at 0 nm and an altitude of 1,270 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,914 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 90 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 338 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 78 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.5 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 255°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and no headwind. The total landing distance of 1,657 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is considered acceptable.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 meters. Despite this, the landing was considered successful, and the aircraft achieved a high score of 96.4%. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
