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 2.7° 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 3,503 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 499 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LFBR Aérodrome de Muret - Lherm, the Black Square Caravan Professional Amphibian N511KG began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. With a local temperature of 23 °C and a headwind of 23 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 12, utilizing 548 meters, or 50% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 84 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to 10,470 ft asl, it covered 24 nautical miles in 11 minutes, demonstrating a steady ascent. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile south of Anan, lasting 7 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a second climb phase, reaching 12,170 ft asl in 3 minutes, before entering a prolonged level cruise phase overhead Capvern, lasting 40 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, decreasing from 12,500 ft asl to 3,029 ft asl in 12 minutes, before entering a final level cruise phase 1 mile north west of LEVT Vitoria Airport.
The Black Square Caravan Professional Amphibian N511KG then initiated its final approach to runway 04 at LEVT Vitoria Airport, aligning perfectly with the runway. With a threshold speed of 81 kt and a touchdown speed of 75 kt, the aircraft landed 102 meters beyond the touchdown zone, utilizing 36% of the 3,505-meter runway. The total landing distance was 1,251 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing period of 3 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 196 nautical miles, utilizing 212 kg of fuel and taking 88 minutes to complete the journey.
The final approach to runway 04 at LEVT Vitoria Airport from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 36.0° at 1 nm and 493 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 81 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down 102 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 75 kt, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -92 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a wind of 13 kt at 70°, presented a moderate crosswind component of 7 kt and a headwind component of 11 kt. However, the pilot's skill and experience allowed for a seamless handling of the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 1,251 m, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.1%. The pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's performance made for a smooth and safe landing.
