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 1,248 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,248 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 597 m past the threshold — beyond 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a LHC Super Viking 9, then departed from runway 10 at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport. The takeoff distance was 236 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots coming from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Gonneville, France, and ascended from an altitude of 1,131 feet above sea level to 1,892 feet above sea level, an increase of 761 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Le Theil, France, and lasted for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 23 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Lessay, France, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,013 feet above sea level to 897 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,116 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at LFOM Lessay Airfield was made from the southwest, heading 62.0 degrees at an altitude of 807 feet above ground level, and at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point located 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 42 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -162 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots coming from a direction of 32 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 677 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline.
The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 18 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was successful, with a good touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway touchdown alignment.
The LHC Super Viking 9 aircraft successfully landed at LFOM Lessay Airfield, achieving a score of 87.1%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 62.0° at 1 nautical mile and 807 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 66 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 42 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also within acceptable limits at -162 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 32°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 677 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, which may be a minor concern for future landings.
Overall, the LHC Super Viking 9 aircraft performed well during the landing at LFOM Lessay Airfield, with a good score and satisfactory performance in most areas. However, the slight misalignment during the rollout may require some attention to ensure that future landings are even more precise.
