Track the centreline on final
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 1,269 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,269 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 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 16 at HKHM Mfangano Airport, where the aircraft, a TBM 930, took off with a takeoff distance of 816 meters, which was 87% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 74 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots blowing from 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of HKHM Mfangano Airport, Homa Bay. The climb was from an altitude of 4,527 feet above sea level to 9,109 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,581 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 7 miles south of HKHA Rusinga Airport, Homa Bay. This cruise phase lasted for 54 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 218 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 14 miles north of Nkoaranga, Arusha Region, Tanzania, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 9,257 feet above sea level to 4,822 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,435 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles north of HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport, Arusha. This cruise phase lasted for 54 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at HTMS Moshi Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 60.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 343 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 1,269 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing from 77 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 322 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 76 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 262 nautical miles, taking 70 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 307 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at HTMS Moshi Airport, achieving a score of 93.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 60.0° at 1 nautical mile and 343 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 08.
The runway at HTMS Moshi Airport has a length of 1,269 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the TBM 930 to touch down safely. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when crossing the threshold. The threshold speed of 86 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance of 322 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold. However, the touchdown speed of 76 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 77°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 6 knots, which helped to slow the aircraft down during the approach.
The total landing distance of 572 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the TBM 930 aircraft demonstrated good performance and control during the landing at HTMS Moshi Airport, achieving a high score of 93.5%.
