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.

Plan view — the full 714 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 241 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 approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 22 at the LFLG Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud. The takeoff distance was 677 meters, which accounted for 83% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,410 feet above sea level (asl) to 4,500 ft asl, an increase of 3,090 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Gieres in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles, starting overhead Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 4,909 ft asl to 7,922 ft asl, an increase of 3,013 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This climb started 1 mile north of Saint-Ismier. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 27 minutes and covered 29 nautical miles, starting 2 miles southeast of Saint-Barthelemy-de-Sechilienne.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 1 mile north of La Batie-Neuve in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The descent from 7,610 ft asl to 4,675 ft asl, a decrease of 2,935 feet in 5 minutes, covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, starting 2 miles east of La Breole.
The final approach to runway 09 at the LFMR Barcelonnette - Saint-Pons Airfield was made from the west, heading 99.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,088 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a runway length of 714 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 61 knots. The touchdown distance was 225 meters, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 645 meters, which accounted for 90% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 75 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes, during which the aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at LFMR Barcelonnette - Saint-Pons Airfield, achieving a score of 90.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 99.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,088 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, ensuring a smooth and stable descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 61 knots, which is considered good threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 225 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 52 knots was also satisfactory, and the rate of descent at -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's altitude and speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final approach.
The total landing distance of 645 meters was 90% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and descent rate. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control during the final approach and landing phases. The score of 90.6% reflects the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the landing, and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a smooth and safe landing.
