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.

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 full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk took off from runway 09 at LTFB Selçuk Efes Airport, covering a takeoff distance of 504 meters, which is 32% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 66 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 17°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Selçuk, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,301 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 510 feet asl. This climb was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 1,781 feet asl to 6,077 feet asl, an increase of 4,296 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a descent phase, starting 6 miles south east of Seferihisar, and descending from 6,051 feet asl to 955 feet asl, a decrease of 5,096 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, before beginning its final approach to landing. The approach was made from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 278 feet above ground level (agl), and the aircraft touched down 3 miles west of Seferihisar, with a touchdown speed of 49 knots and a touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm).
The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 2°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, and the headwind component was 10 knots. The total flight distance was 35 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 16 kilograms.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully completed a landing at a location 3 miles west of Seferihisar in Izmir, Turkey. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its final approach and landing, achieving a score of 89.5%. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft from an altitude of 1 nm to 1 nm at 278 ft above ground level (agl) showcased their expertise in controlling the aircraft's descent.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, the pilot executed a smooth descent from 44 ft agl to 0 ft agl, reducing the altitude by 44 ft in just 12 seconds. This rapid descent was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience in managing the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final stages of the landing. The touchdown speed of 49 kn was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed to ensure a safe and stable landing.
The touchdown rate of -196 fpm was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent to achieve a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the touchdown point was 48 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was impressive, and the landing was deemed successful.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 °C and a wind speed of 10 kn at 2 °. The crosswind component was 3 kn, while the headwind component was 10 kn. These conditions presented a challenging environment for the pilot, but they were able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's performance during this landing was impressive, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
