Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a TBM 930 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from a seaplane base located 2 miles west of TFF1 St Barthelemy Seaplane in Guadeloupe. The aircraft began its ascent from an altitude of 978 feet above sea level, reaching a height of 295 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb demonstrated a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 684 feet in a short period of time.
Upon reaching the destination, the aircraft initiated a final approach to runway 10 at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, coming in from the west at a heading of 95.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 241 feet above ground level and had covered a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 10 was notable for several factors. The threshold height at 70 feet above ground level was significantly higher than the target, indicating that the aircraft was approaching the runway at a higher altitude than desired. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 82 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the approach was not properly configured.
The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute was considered fair. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 117 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the challenges experienced during the landing.
Despite the challenges, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and rotation during the landing. The total landing distance was 490 meters, which accounted for 76% of the available runway length. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight used 5 kilograms of fuel.

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach was made from the west, heading 95.0°, and the aircraft was at 0 nm and 241 ft above ground level (agl) when it began its descent. The landing was made on runway 10, which has a length of 642 m.
The threshold height at 70 ft agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when it reached the threshold of the runway. This may have been due to a number of factors, including the aircraft's speed and the pilot's control of the descent. The threshold speed was also too high at 82 kt, which is above the recommended speed for landing. This may have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft was not aligned perfectly with the runway centerline, or that the pilot was not able to control the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively. The touchdown speed of 71 kt was also a little fast, which may have contributed to the long touchdown distance. The touchdown rate of -208 fpm was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 117°. The crosswind was 3 kt, and the headwind was 5 kt, which may have contributed to the aircraft's alignment issues on the runway. The total landing distance was 490 m, which is 76% of the available runway length.
Despite the challenges encountered during the landing, the aircraft was able to come to a stop on the runway without incident. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed and direction effectively after touchdown. Overall, the landing was not ideal, but it was successful and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely.
