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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,489 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 488 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13 at UGSB Batumi International Airport, where the DA-50 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 250 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 70 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
After departing the airport, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place overhead UGSB Batumi International Airport in Batumi, Georgia.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 13, it was heading in a direction of 106.0 degrees at an altitude of 162 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on the runway, which has a length of 2,489 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 76 knots.
The touchdown point was located 46 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 66 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also excellent at -88 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 170 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 641 meters, which is 26% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight used 2 kilograms of fuel.
The DA-50 aircraft successfully landed at UGSB Batumi International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.7%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 106.0° at 1 nautical mile and 162 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13, which has a length of 2,489 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 76 knots. The touchdown point was 46 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly short of the intended location. However, the touchdown speed of 66 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 641 meters, which is approximately 26% 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 in a relatively short distance. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. These minor misalignments may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a relatively short landing distance. However, there were some minor issues with the alignment of the touchdown and rollout, which may require further attention to improve the overall performance of the aircraft.
