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: 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 1,501 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 182 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 to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a P180, then departed from runway 17 at LFMD Cannes-Mandelieu Airport in the south of France. The takeoff distance was 746 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 114 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 27,019 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 24 nautical miles and took 15 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 25,990 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles. This phase took place 2 miles south west of the town of Chateaudouble in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles south of Colle Sestriere in the Piemonte region of Italy. This descent phase took the aircraft down from an altitude of 27,006 feet to 17,164 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,842 feet, in just 7 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase took place 7 miles south west of the town of Cogne in the Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta region of Italy. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 5 miles east of Cogne and took the aircraft down from an altitude of 16,442 feet to 2,853 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,589 feet, in just 7 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 274.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,058 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 1,501 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 107 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 180 meters, and the touchdown speed was 99 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 602 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 173 nautical miles, and the flight took 50 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 320 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport, with a score of 99.6%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 274.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,058 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 107 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 180 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 99 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 5 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 602 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway space. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a good speed and distance, and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout phase. The score of 99.6% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
