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 2,010 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 35 at KAEG Double Eagle II Airport, a small airport located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States. The takeoff distance was 862 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 93 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 3 miles north of KAEG Double Eagle II Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 6,762 feet above sea level to 16,936 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,173 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Bosque Farms, New Mexico, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Madrone, New Mexico, and descended from an altitude of 16,868 feet above sea level to 6,614 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,254 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at E80 Alexander Mun was made from the northeast, heading 231.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 2,010 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 93 knots.
The touchdown point was 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 83 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 78 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,320 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 83 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes, during which the aircraft used 85 kilograms of fuel.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at E80 Alexander Mun, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 2,010 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 93 knots. The touchdown point was 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 83 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 78°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,320 meters, which is 66% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft landed relatively close to the end of the runway, but still within a safe distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and alignment. The excellent touchdown rate and good threshold height were notable positives, and the aircraft's ability to land safely despite the minor issues is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
