Keep the wings level 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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,337 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,337 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 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 to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 19 at LIPB Bolzano Airport in Italy. The takeoff distance was 520 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 123 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LIPB Bolzano Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 555 meters above sea level to 8,055 meters above sea level, an increase of 7,499.9 meters in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile south east of Volano, Italy. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile south east of Calendasco, Italy, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 7,913 meters above sea level to 392 meters above sea level, a decrease of 7,521.5 meters in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LIMG Riviera Villanova d'Albenga International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 276.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 350.5 meters above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 1,337 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 103 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 373 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 92 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.5 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 840 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 203 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 504 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at LIMG Riviera Villanova d'Albenga International Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 276.0° at an altitude of 350.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 1,337 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 103 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare slightly earlier than intended.
The touchdown distance of 373 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 92 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -1.5 m/s was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-center. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light headwind of 1 kt from 269°.
The total landing distance of 840 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a straight course after touchdown and avoid any significant deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
