Flight Score
Arrival
Ease the descent rate on final, flying a shallower path back onto the target glidepath angle rather than diving steep.
What happened: On final, the approach was flown at a steeper angle than the target glidepath for that segment.
Watch for: Watch the VSI and glidepath/VASI indication on final, keeping the descent angle matched to the target rather than steepening.
See Arrival Final 1
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 939 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 939 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 164 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 01 at LEVX Vigo Airport, with a takeoff distance of 511 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind or headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of LEVX Vigo Airport, rising from 1,759 feet above sea level to 3,471 feet, an increase of 1,713 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb continued, with the aircraft reaching a level cruise 1 mile northwest of the airport, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time overhead Porrino, Galicia, Spain, rising from 4,096 feet to 4,655 feet, an increase of 559 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The level cruise continued, with the aircraft flying for 16 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles, 3 miles southwest of Ponteareas, Galicia, Spain.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 1 mile north of Vila Verde, Distrito de Braga, Portugal, descending from 3,188 feet to 1,115 feet, a decrease of 2,072 feet in 4 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at LPBR Braga Municipal Aerodrome was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 237.0° at 1 nautical mile and 865 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 162 meters, a touchdown speed of 44 knots, and a firm touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 318 meters, which was 34% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, taking 44 minutes, and the aircraft used 17 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at the Braga Municipal Aerodrome (LPBR) on runway 25. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 237.0° at 1 nautical mile and 865 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately achieving a good threshold height.
Upon landing, the pilot maintained a safe speed, with a threshold speed of 45 knots being well below the target to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 162 meters. The touchdown speed of 44 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was firm at -370 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 318 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained good control and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
