Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 588 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 04 at ENRM Rørvik Airport, Ryum, Norway. The TBM 850 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 578 meters, which was 72% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 95 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Rørvik Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,030 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,079 feet asl in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, before resuming its climb. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 853 feet asl to 3,010 feet asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 4,902 feet asl from 3,571 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles, before beginning its descent. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 4,922 feet asl to 1,097 feet asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at ENOL Ørland Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 329.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,068 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 2,709 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 71 knots. The touchdown point was 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 59 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -342 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 694 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 92 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used 112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ENOL Ørland Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 329.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,068 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 2,709 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 71 knots. The touchdown point was 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 59 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -342 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
However, there were some issues with the alignment of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining a straight course during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a very slight crosswind component of 1 knot, but no headwind. The total landing distance was 694 meters, which is 26% of the runway length. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement in terms of alignment and control.
