Get the gear down sooner
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 217 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at LFKA Albertville General Pierre Delachenal Airfield, a Beechcraft Baron G58 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 408 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 110 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 kilometer per hour from a direction of 273 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Sainte-Helene-sur-Isere in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 2,057 feet above sea level to 2,749 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of just 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent was followed by a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft passing over various towns and villages in the region.
One of the descents took place 1 mile southeast of Montailleur, where the aircraft dropped from 2,743 feet to 1,766 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Another descent occurred overhead the town of Les Marches, where the aircraft descended from 2,456 feet to 1,413 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The level cruise phase of the flight took place overhead the town of Chamousset, lasting for 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, coming in from the south at a heading of 1.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 641 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 kilometer per hour from a direction of 291 degrees.
The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 77 knots and a touchdown rate of -111 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 216 meters, which was a good result, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 432 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 10.9 meters from the centerline.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 25 nautical miles and took 13 minutes to complete, using 197 kilograms of fuel in the process. The flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of different conditions.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 91.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at 2 nautical miles and 641 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was 78 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 216 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 77 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -111 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor drift during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor loss of control during the rollout.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 291°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, and the headwind component was zero. Overall, the pilot's performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft landed safely within the designated runway area.
