Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,951 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,951 m of the 4,015 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 410 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 24 at MUSA San Antonio de los Baños Airfield and commenced the departure roll. The take-off run required 504 m, representing 14 % of the available runway, and the aircraft became airborne at 82 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and a 1 kt cross-wind component.
Climb began directly overhead MUSA, with the airplane accelerating from 1,135 ft asl to 4,463 ft asl, an altitude gain of 3,328 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
Level cruise was established 1 mile east of Alquizar (Artemisa, Cuba) and persisted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 4 nm at a constant altitude.
Descent commenced 2 miles west of MUSA, descending from 4,296 ft asl to 1,870 ft asl, a loss of 2,426 ft over 3 minutes and a distance of 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at MUHA José Martí International Airport involved a descent from 1,730 ft agl to 41 ft agl in 167 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gates criteria.
Landing on runway 06 was executed with a runway length of 4,015 m; the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 71 kt. Touchdown occurred 408 m down the runway at 60 kt with a vertical speed of minus 78 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.4 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,846 m, equivalent to 46 % of the runway, and the rollout was excessively misaligned, ending 85.2 m from the centreline.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that lasted 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 21 nm, took 13 minutes, and consumed 31 kg of fuel.
The TBM 930 recorded a score of 85.7 % and executed the final approach to runway 06 at MUHA José Martí International Airport with a stabilised assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,730 ft agl to 41 ft agl in 167 seconds and earned points for meeting the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 15 C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was a little below target at 71 kt, while the touchdown distance of 408 m was judged good. Touchdown speed was 60 kt and the touchdown rate was excellent at minus 78 fpm; the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 m from the centreline.
At touchdown the aircraft maintained the 60 kt speed and the minus 78 fpm descent rate, and the point of contact remained only 4.4 m off the centreline, confirming the good speed and rate figures recorded in the previous phase.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,846 m, representing 46 % of the 4,015 m runway, but the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 85.2 m from the centreline.
Focus on improving centreline alignment during rollout to reduce the 85.2 m deviation, and adjust the threshold speed to meet the target of 71 kt rather than running slightly low.
