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 300 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 300 ft gate: centreline 1.0° off, against a 1° limit and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 72 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,271 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,271 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LFDJ Aérodrome de Pamiers - Les Pujols, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching the runway, the departure roll commenced on runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 580 meters, utilizing 45% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 69 knots, taking advantage of the 6-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, departing from the vicinity of Les Pujols and ascending to 8,083 feet above sea level. This climb phase, which lasted 14 minutes, covered a distance of 22 nautical miles and resulted in an altitude gain of 6,145 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 8,083 feet above sea level for 20 minutes while covering 36 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile north of Bellver de Cerdanya, with the aircraft descending from 8,371 feet to 3,020 feet above sea level in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 21 at LESU Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgel Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 212.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots, with a touchdown distance of 453 meters and a touchdown rate of -30 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 931 meters, utilizing 73% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 79 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 50 minutes and a fuel consumption of 15 kilograms.
The Cessna Skyhawk touched down smoothly on runway 21 at LESU Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgel Airport, demonstrating excellent approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 384 feet above ground level (agl) to a good threshold height, aligning itself with the runway centerline. The pilot maintained a steady heading of 212.0°, navigating the aircraft from the north east at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
As the aircraft touched down, it achieved a speed of 49 knots, well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 453 meters was also satisfactory, considering the runway length of 1,272 meters. The touchdown rate of -30 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, with the aircraft perfectly centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 45°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 931 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 98.7% reflecting the pilot's exceptional skill and control. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and smooth rollout earned the Cessna Skyhawk a high score, demonstrating the pilot's ability to handle the aircraft with precision and finesse.
