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.
Side view — the last 760 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 760 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 148 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 33 at LGSR Santorini Airport, where the TBM 850 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 591 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 72 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LGSR Santorini Airport on Santorini Island in the South Aegean region of Greece. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 259 feet above sea level to 3,076 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,816 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 6 miles west of Oia on the island of Santorini. This phase of the flight lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles west of Folegandros, another island in the South Aegean region. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,074 feet above sea level to 1,844 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,230 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at LGML Milos Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 261.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,823 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 72 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was good at 146 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 17 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 17 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 344 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking just 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 50 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at LGML Milos Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 261.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,823 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 26, which has a length of 760 meters.
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 76 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise speed.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 146 meters, which is a reasonable distance for a landing on a runway of this length. The touchdown speed, however, was a little fast at 72 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's momentum as it touched down, or the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly too late.
The touchdown rate was good, measuring -198 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates that the aircraft was descending at a safe rate as it touched down. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: the temperature was 12°C, and the wind was blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 17°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 17 knots and a tailwind component of 8 knots. Despite these challenging wind conditions, the aircraft landed safely and within the designated runway area.
The total landing distance was 344 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the wind conditions and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored well on its approach and landing.
