Track the centreline on final
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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,148 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 371 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 12 at SBMT Campo de Marte Airport. The takeoff distance was 540 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 67 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 22 °C and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 110 °.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The crosswind component during this phase was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft then proceeded to complete the left-hand pattern, with the downwind turn covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 53.7 °. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 85 seconds.
The base leg turn, which followed the downwind leg, covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 1.2 °. The final approach to the runway was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 91.0 ° at an altitude of 516 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 12 at SBMT Campo de Marte Airport was successful, with the touchdown distance being 370 meters and the touchdown speed being 53 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -111 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 °C and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 110 °.
The total landing distance was 751 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at SBMT Campo de Marte Airport, achieving an impressive score of 86.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at 1 nautical mile and 516 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 110°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 1,148 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 69 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 370 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at a safe 53 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -111 feet per minute (fpm).
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 6.3 meters off-centerline. Despite this minor misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions, including a 5-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind of 1 knot, did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at SBMT Campo de Marte Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
