Keep the wings level 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 1,130 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 242 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGFF Cardiff International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 12, with a takeoff distance of 874 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 129 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of EGFF Cardiff International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 109 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Rhoose, climbing from 1,197 feet above sea level to 32,226 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,029 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Ashbury, lasting 107 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. However, the aircraft then began another climb from 32,226 feet above sea level to 38,814 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,588 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Farnham, lasting 38 minutes and covering 281 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 38,772 feet above sea level to 9,003 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,769 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again overhead Revonnas, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent from 8,751 feet above sea level to 2,803 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,949 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the southwest, heading 39.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 04, which had a length of 1,130 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 108 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 241 meters, but the touchdown speed of 99 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 706 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 537 nautical miles, taking a total of 109 minutes, and the aircraft used 684 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 39.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level.
The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a smooth touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute. The threshold height was also satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 108 knots was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 99 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The landing distance of 706 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the approach and landing phases. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 16 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the approach and landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The pilot's ability to manage the wind conditions and maintain a smooth touchdown rate was particularly noteworthy, and the short landing distance was a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill.
