Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9°, 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: no landing flap set and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,241 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 m 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 20 at KSAF Santa Fe Municipal Airport in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The takeoff distance was 489 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSAF Santa Fe Municipal Airport. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 7,022 feet above sea level to 29,971 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,949 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles southeast of Ribera, New Mexico. This phase lasted for 58 minutes and covered a distance of 351 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles east of Scotland, Texas. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 29,913 feet above sea level to 2,573 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,340 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead 4TX8 Addington Field Krum, Texas. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field, which was located to the northwest. The aircraft was heading at 136.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,344 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field was characterized by a runway length of 2,241 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 85 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 416 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 78 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 731 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 494 nautical miles, which was covered in 98 minutes. The aircraft used 293 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at KDAL Dallas Love Field, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 136.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,344 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13L, which has a length of 2,241 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 85 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 416 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 78 knots was also slightly too fast, but the touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 731 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.4 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown misalignment.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown and rollout alignment.
