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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.

The 83 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted using a Cessna 408 SkyCourier Cargo aircraft. The empty taxiing from the parking to the runway took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 19 at LF15 Crottet-Le Bief ULM, with a takeoff distance of 233 meters, which accounted for 124% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 56 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 98 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Crottet in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb took place from an altitude of 766 feet above sea level to 14,546 feet, an increase of 13,781 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 150 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 15,395 feet to 24,208 feet, an increase of 8,813 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The level cruise phase that followed lasted for 64 minutes and covered a significant distance of 414 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent, starting from an altitude of 23,905 feet above sea level to 7,882 feet, a decrease of 16,023 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for just 2 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The descent that followed took place from 7,355 feet to 1,453 feet, a decrease of 5,901 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at LZNR Ludanice Airstrip was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 35.0 degrees at an altitude of 878 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 398 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was 93 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 80 meters. The touchdown speed was 92 knots, while the touchdown rate was hard at -427 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 18 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 250 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In conclusion, the total flight distance was 556 nautical miles, taking a total of 121 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 828 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Cessna 408 SkyCourier Cargo, successfully landed at the LZNR Ludanice Airstrip, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 35.0° at an altitude of 878 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 92 kt, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 93 kt. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 80 meters. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, registering -427 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the aircraft could have benefited from a slightly gentler touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 5.7 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 5 kt from a direction of 18°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt.
The total landing distance was 250 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to decelerate efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and deceleration characteristics. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment from the centerline may indicate areas for improvement in future landings.
