Track the centreline
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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 4.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Carcassonne Airport (LFMK), the Black Square Caravan Professional Amphibian N511KG began its journey with a taxiing period of 17 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. With a local temperature of 27°C and a 15-knot headwind, the aircraft took off from runway 09, utilizing 839 meters, or 47% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 76 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Carcassonne, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,296 feet above sea level (asl) in just 4 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The flight then entered a series of level cruises, with notable segments occurring over Laure-Minervois, Caux, and Montpellier, each lasting between 5 and 16 minutes and covering distances ranging from 14 to 46 nautical miles. The aircraft also executed several enroute descents, including a notable 2,681-foot descent in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles, and a 3,487-foot descent in 6 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 09 at LFMK Carcassonne Airport, with a heading of 95.0° and an altitude of 593 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 324 meters, or 18% of the runway, and a smooth touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the flight with a total distance of 174 nautical miles, a flight time of 79 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 207 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 09 at LFMK Carcassonne Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 95.0° at 1 nm and 593 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 74 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 69 kt, with a touchdown rate of -130 fpm, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown distance of 324 m, which was within the acceptable range for the runway length of 1,794 m. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline, which may require attention during future approaches. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind of 19 kt at 80°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 18 kt, which the pilot successfully managed.
The rollout phase was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the runway centreline. The total landing distance of 611 m, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 97.1%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
