Track the centreline
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 3.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,800 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 301 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cotswold Airport, Kemble, in Gloucestershire, England, the ICP Savannah S I-C019 began its takeoff roll on runway 08. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 40 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 693 meters, which accounted for 43% of the available runway length. The climb phase commenced shortly after, with the aircraft transitioning from a ground elevation of 627 feet above sea level to 424 feet asl, a net increase of 203 feet, over a period of 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it maintained a steady ascent, eventually transitioning to the descent phase. Touchdown occurred before the threshold of the runway, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 40 kt, slightly above the optimal range. However, the touchdown rate of -31 feet per minute was well within the acceptable parameters, and the runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good. The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with a total landing distance of 136 meters, accounting for just 8% of the available runway length.
The flight, which covered a total distance of 6 nautical miles, utilized a fuel quantity of 1 kilogram and lasted for 7 minutes. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, with the aircraft performing well within the expected parameters.
Runway 27 at the local airfield presented a challenging yet favorable environment for the ICP Savannah S I-C019's landing attempt. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a gentle descent and a steady airspeed of 60 kt, gradually decreasing to 40 kt at touchdown. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, indicating a slightly aggressive approach, but the touchdown speed of 40 kt was a tad higher than the desired rate.
The touchdown characteristics were otherwise impressive, with a perfect touchdown rate of -31 fpm, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway, a testament to the pilot's attention to detail and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout. The total landing distance of 136 m, accounting for only 8% of the runway, was a commendable achievement, reflecting the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's speed and control during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing attempt scored 72.7%, a respectable result that highlights the pilot's proficiency in executing a safe and efficient landing.
