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 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 110 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 22 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The aircraft, a DR40, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 61 kt, covering a takeoff distance of 282 m, which was 25% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 °C.
As the aircraft climbed away from Annecy, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead Meythet in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,834 ft asl to 2,918 ft asl, an increase of 1,083 ft in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 1 nm. This initial climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started overhead Cran-Gevrier and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting overhead Moye. The climb from 2,957 ft asl to 3,626 ft asl, an increase of 669 ft in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 2 nm. Following this climb, the aircraft started its enroute descent, beginning 1 mile north east of Ruffieux. The descent from 3,601 ft asl to 1,888 ft asl, a decrease of 1,713 ft in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 6 nm.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south west of Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, heading 175.0 ° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,427 ft agl.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 109 m, which was 23% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 75 kt, and the touchdown rate was fair at -213 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 °C.
The total landing distance was 383 m, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 25 nm, and the flight duration was 19 minutes, during which the aircraft used 5 kg of fuel.
The aircraft DR40 successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 91.6%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,427 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good control, touching down on the runway at a speed of 80 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 109 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C. The runway length of 1,651 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely. The total landing distance of 383 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the runway touchdown alignment, which was rated as very good. This suggests that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown, reducing the risk of veering off course. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more stable rate of descent.
