Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 3,005 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,005 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,183 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 04L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,244 feet, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 83°F and a wind speed of 22 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 13 knots, and the headwind was 18 knots. After departing from PHNL, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 1,029 feet above sea level to 13,912 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,883 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south of Nanakuli, Hawaii, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles east of Po'ipu, Hawaii, and took the aircraft from 14,425 feet above sea level to 1,454 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,971 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at PHBK Barking Sands Airport was made from the south, heading 345.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,425 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,172 feet, which was 51% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 62 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -286 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at PHBK were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 118 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 274 pounds.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at PHBK Barking Sands Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 345.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,425 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 3,005 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 74 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 1,172 feet, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 62 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair, coming in at -286 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the aircraft was not fully arrested at touchdown, potentially due to the pilot's braking technique or the aircraft's deceleration characteristics.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 31 feet. This may have been due to the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's drift during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind of 9 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was zero.
The total landing distance was 1,522 feet, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 29 feet. This may have been due to the pilot's braking technique or the aircraft's deceleration characteristics.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot achieving a good score. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
