See Arrival Approach
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 85 kt with 6.3° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 233 ft.
Reached 35 ft 38 m past the runway end; then climbing at 920 fpm on average to 233 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 879 m runway.
Rolled from 36 m in, drifted 2.3 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 71 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline more than 1° off.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: left of the centreline all the way, gear up until 3.0 nm, no landing flap until 2.9 nm, fast until 2.0 nm, sinking too fast until 1.1 nm, high from 0.4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then high to the threshold (up to 140 ft over).
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 3,153 m left of the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 47 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 28 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 2.6 nm, then fast to 2.0 nm (up to +44 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Perfect landing flare. It lost 0.6 points, partly for taking only 850 fpm of the sink out.
6 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 77 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 027° at 7 kt · 3 kt head · 6 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 985 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 40 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 36 ft. Touched down 278 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 985 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 920 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.0° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 5.6 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 1.4 m right by the end of the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.37 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
Departing from LFNA Gap - Tallard Airfield, the TBM 930 initiated its departure roll on runway 02, utilizing 73% of the 640-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 86 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18 °C, with a gentle tailwind of 3 kt and a crosswind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude, it transitioned from the enroute climb phase to the level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 10,090 ft asl. The climb phase itself had seen the aircraft ascend from 2,362 ft asl to 10,090 ft asl, covering a distance of 10 nm in 4 minutes. The level cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 31 nm. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase commenced, with the aircraft descending from 10,404 ft asl to 1,450 ft asl, a decrease of 8,954 ft in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nm.
Upon reaching the destination airfield, LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux, the TBM 930 initiated its final approach to runway 32 from the south east, maintaining a heading of 330.0 °. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 77 kt and a touchdown rate of -114 fpm. The total landing distance was 667 m, accounting for 68% of the 986-meter runway. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight with a total distance of 70 nm and a fuel consumption of 76 kg.
