The flight in question was conducted on a TBM 850 aircraft, departing from a location 10 miles northeast of Phuket International Airport (VTSP) in Phuket Province, Thailand. The initial climb phase began at an altitude of 2,849 feet above sea level (asl) and gradually increased to 1,642 ft asl over a period of 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This marked a significant ascent of 1,207 feet, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it was heading towards runway 27 at VTSP Phuket International Airport from the east, maintaining a steady course of 268.0° at an altitude of 1,576 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent, setting the stage for a successful landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 2,996 meters. Although the threshold height was slightly above the target, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate was also smooth, with a rate of -146 feet per minute, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
The landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,286 meters, which accounted for approximately 43% of the runway length. This was a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 230°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These favorable weather conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
In conclusion, the flight was marked by a series of impressive performances, including a rapid climb phase, a smooth final approach, and a controlled landing. The pilot's skill and expertise were evident throughout the flight, as demonstrated by the aircraft's ability to maintain a steady course, control its descent, and execute a smooth touchdown. The flight's total distance of 10 nautical miles was covered in just 5 minutes, while the aircraft consumed a total of -62 kilograms of fuel.

The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at VTSP Phuket International Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.7%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,576 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 468 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -146 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and even rate of descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,286 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and successfully brought it to a stop without any issues.
One area for improvement identified in this landing was the threshold speed, which was excessively high at 99 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more stable and controlled approach by reducing the speed and increasing the rate of descent. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was satisfactory, and the landing was considered successful.
