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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,854 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Paris-Le Bourget Airport, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 21, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 2,853-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 128 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,091 meters accounted for 46% of the available runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Paris-Le Bourget, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, ascending from 1,132 feet above sea level to 25,012 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 23,880 feet. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 25,012 feet for 11 minutes as it covered a distance of 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, gradually losing altitude as it transitioned through various cruise phases, ultimately landing at Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport.
The final approach to runway 08 at Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport was executed from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 80.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,579 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 98 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 107 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute was smooth, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance of 1,189 meters accounted for 42% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 248 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 446 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 69 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08 at LFLC Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 80.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,579 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 107 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down smoothly at a speed of 98 knots, which was slightly above the ideal touchdown speed but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown characteristics were notable for their smoothness, with a touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots, contributed to a stable and controlled approach. The crosswind component of 5 knots was well within the aircraft's handling capabilities.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,189 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway's length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.4%, a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with a smooth and controlled rollout.
