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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 316 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 22 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The takeoff distance was 359 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 63 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Meythet in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The climb took 3 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 2,220 feet above sea level to 4,438 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,218 feet.
The enroute descent started overhead Marigny-Saint-Marcel in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 4,386 feet above sea level to 2,890 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,496 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile west of Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,767 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 1,651 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 knots. The touchdown point was 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 77 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,058 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach to runway 18 from the north was executed at a heading of 179.0°, 2 nautical miles away, and at an altitude of 1,767 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 92 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
One of the main concerns during the landing was the excessive threshold speed of 95 knots, which is higher than the recommended speed. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was also excessively fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates a relatively hard landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's handling characteristics.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 10 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain a very good runway rollout alignment, which is a testament to their skills and experience.
The total landing distance was 1,058 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, considering the runway length of 1,651 meters. However, it is worth noting that the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills can affect the landing distance. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good skills and experience, and the aircraft performed reasonably well under the given conditions.
