Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,674 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 307 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at UATO Toktogul Airport, where the aircraft, a TBM 930, took off with a takeoff distance of 47 meters, which is 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 85 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 146 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead UATO Toktogul Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,071 feet above sea level to 30,279 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,208 feet in just 22 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 6 miles west of UASV Sosnovka Airport and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 14 miles northeast of UASV Sosnovka Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 31,096 feet above sea level to 4,240 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,855 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11R at UAFW Kant Air Base was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 116.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,639 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11R at UAFW Kant Air Base was successful, with a touchdown distance of 305 meters, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 80 knots was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 146 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,119 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 112 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used 112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at UAFW Kant Air Base, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 116.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,639 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 11R, which has a length of 2,674 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was too high at 86 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance was good at 305 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 80 knots was reported as fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a more controlled touchdown. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down with minimal impact. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: temperature 20°C, wind 2 knots at 146°, crosswind 1 knot, and headwind 2 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,119 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.4%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed to achieve a smoother touchdown.
