Hold the glidepath
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 500 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 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.4° against the runway's 3.1° and speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 97 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,674 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 151 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGJB Guernsey Airport took approximately 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The ATR 72 then departed from runway 27, utilizing 34% of the 1,494-meter runway to achieve a takeoff distance of 494 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 122 knots, with a local temperature of 15°C and a wind of 29 knots at 249 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 28 knots.
The enroute climb began overhead EGJB Guernsey Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,297 feet above sea level to 12,492 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The climb rate was significant, with an increase of 11,196 feet in a short period. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 12,492 feet for 5 minutes while covering 21 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 9 miles north of EGJA Alderney Airport, with the aircraft descending from 12,717 feet to 6,912 feet in 5 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 11 minutes and covering 46 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at EGHI Southampton Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft descending from 6,793 feet to 1,259 feet in 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The landing was completed on runway 20, with a touchdown distance of 152 meters and a touchdown speed of 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was high at -585 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 447 meters, utilizing 28% of the 1,599-meter runway. The aircraft then rolled out, with the runway rollout alignment significantly misaligned by 36.0 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 126 nautical miles, taking 37 minutes and consuming 554 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 20 at EGHI Southampton Airport from the north was initiated at 3 nm and 809 ft above ground level, heading 168.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 130 kt, indicating a potential for a long rollout. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 128 kt, which was also excessively fast, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -585 fpm.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance from the centreline was 12.6 m, indicating a slight misalignment. The touchdown distance of 152 m was good, but the hard touchdown rate and excessive touchdown speed were notable concerns. The total landing distance of 447 m, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 36.0 m from centreline, indicating a need for improvement in the pilot's ability to maintain centreline alignment during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 °C, with a wind speed of 22 kt at 240°. The crosswind component was 14 kt, while the headwind component was 16 kt. Overall, the landing scored 73.8%, indicating a satisfactory performance with areas for improvement in terms of threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway rollout alignment.
