Hold the approach angle
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 3,720 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,720 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,563 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 27 at LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,766 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 169°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Biarritz, and continued to climb from 925 feet above sea level to 5,456 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,531 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Ascain and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 5 miles west of Arnedillo, and climbed from 5,765 feet above sea level to 6,466 feet above sea level, an increase of 701 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 8 miles southwest of Arnedillo and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at LEHN Aeródromo de Hiendelaencina-Alto Rey was made from the northeast, heading 221.0°, at 1 nautical mile and 455 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 3,720 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 80 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,561 feet, and the touchdown speed at 47 knots was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 206°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 2,018 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 157 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used 104 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LEHN Aeródromo de Hiendelaencina-Alto Rey, achieving an impressive score of 86.6%. The final approach to runway 22 was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 221.0° at 1 nautical mile and 455 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to make a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 47 knots, which was well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 1,561 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 12 feet off-center. This minor misalignment may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions, which were present at the time of landing. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 206°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
Despite the minor deviation from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had effectively controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft coming to rest within 54% of the runway length. The total landing distance of 2,018 feet was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed throughout the landing process.
