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.

Side view — the last 985 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 985 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
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.
The aircraft touched down on runway 32 at LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield with a smooth touchdown rate of -114 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 87 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 77 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 278 m was good, considering the runway length of 986 m. The aircraft's descent was well-controlled, with a good threshold height and a smooth touchdown.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The crosswind of 6 kt and headwind of 3 kt were moderate, but the pilot managed to maintain control and stability throughout the approach. The total landing distance of 667 m, which accounted for 68% of the runway, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was notable for its excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying very close to the centreline. This suggests that the pilot maintained control and made adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth and stable rollout. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 83.9%. While there were some minor deviations, the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
