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 1,769 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 310 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UAFW Kant Air Base took less than a minute, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile. The TBM 930 then began its departure roll on runway 11R, utilizing 18% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 78 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 13°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 124°.
As the aircraft climbed away from UAFW Kant Air Base, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 3,523 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 25,441 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 92 nautical miles and took approximately 22 minutes to complete, resulting in an impressive increase of 21,918 feet in altitude. The enroute descent phase began 27 miles west of UASV Sosnovka Airport, where the aircraft descended from 25,517 feet to 6,211 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at UATL Talas Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 281.0° at an altitude of 2,004 feet above ground level, 3 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target value of 100 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 309 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 93 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute was fair. The aircraft landed slightly off-centerline, with a deviation of 4.4 meters from the runway centerline. Following a successful landing, the TBM 930 taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a short distance of less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance was 143 nautical miles, with a fuel consumption of -410 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 28 at UATL Talas Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 281.0° at 3 nm and 2,004 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, registering 100 kt, which may have been a result of the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was notable, with a touchdown distance of 309 m, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 93 kt was faster than desired, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -228 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 4.4 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 93°, contributed to a minimal crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind of 5 kt.
The aircraft's rollout was executed smoothly, with excellent alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 872 m, accounting for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of the TBM 930 was satisfactory, with a score of 98.1%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the touchdown speed and alignment, the pilot's overall performance was commendable.
