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 first 1,524 m of the 1,539 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 128 m 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a PA34T Seneca V, then departed from runway 07 at SBNF Ministro Victor Konder International Airport. The takeoff distance was 448 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 30 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead SBNF Ministro Victor Konder International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level to 7,608 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,589 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south of SWON Clube de Aviação Céu Azul Airport Araquari, lasting for 12 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 9 miles southeast of Joinville, and the aircraft descended from 6,803 feet above sea level to 2,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,463 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 2,339 feet above sea level to 4,102 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,763 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began again 5 miles north of SWON Clube de Aviação Céu Azul Airport Araquari, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. However, the enroute descent started once more, this time from 4,098 feet above sea level to 1,273 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,825 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at SBJV Lauro Carneiro de Loyola Airport was made from the southeast, heading 311.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 1,539 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 85 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 127 meters, but the touchdown speed at 81 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -247 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.9 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 249 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,079 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The total flight distance was 59 nautical miles, and the flight took 71 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 54 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PA34T Seneca V aircraft successfully landed at SBJV Lauro Carneiro de Loyola Airport, achieving a score of 72.2%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 311.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 81 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 127 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 18.9 meters off the centerline. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 25°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 249°.
The total landing distance of 1,079 meters was 70% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
