What went well

Touched down at 74 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 26 ft and 94 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.45 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 0 %, g force 0.23 to 2.08 g at 83 %, −3.10 points
Arrival Final 3 — Approach angle 3.6 ° at 53 %, −0.65 points
Arrival Final 4 — bank angle up to 13.4 ° at 72 %, Approach angle 3.6 ° at 75 %, −0.54 points

Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Lukla Airport, with the TBM 930 aircraft taking off in a distance of 420 meters, which is 77% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 96 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 275 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed out of Lukla Airport, it reached an altitude of 20,000 feet above sea level in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The climb started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an initial altitude of 9,191 feet to the desired cruising altitude.

The enroute level cruise started 7 miles south of Jiri Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 20,013 feet to 8,873 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. This descent started 5 miles northwest of Ramechhap Airport.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 9 miles southeast of Panauti and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final descent started 1 mile west of Panauti and took the aircraft from 8,921 feet to 5,750 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 02 at Tribhuvan International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 12.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,370 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 02, which has a length of 2,933 meters. The threshold speed was well above the target at 94 knots, and the touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone.

The touchdown speed was 84 knots, which was slightly fast, but the touchdown rate was perfect at 74 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 110 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 1,163 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 79 nautical miles, and the flight took 27 minutes to complete, using 80 kilograms of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 02 at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport in the TBM 930
Landing Score 96.13 %
Landing Summary

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 12.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,370 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 02, which has a length of 2,933 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was above the target at 94 knots. However, the touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft could have been landed slightly earlier. The touchdown speed of 84 knots was faster than ideal, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown point.

Despite the slightly high touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was perfect at 74 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled and smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,163 meters, which is approximately 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and landed smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.1%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and point, which could be addressed in future landings to achieve an even higher score.
