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 2.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 18° of bank, against a 10° 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 2,514 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 643 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, the Cessna C172 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a short distance of less than 1 nm covered in under 1 minute. With a takeoff roll on runway 35, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 68 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 467 m, which represented 15% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Moreira, ascending from 1,137 ft to 4,385 ft in a distance of 7 nm, covering an altitude increase of 3,248 ft in just 4 minutes. The climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted 16 minutes and covered 33 nm, before the aircraft began another climb phase overhead Mesao Frio. The climb to 5,189 ft from 4,671 ft in 2 minutes and 3 nm was a relatively short but steep ascent. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 24 minutes and covering 50 nm, before beginning its descent phase 1 mile west of Barruecopardo. The descent to 4,734 ft from 5,348 ft in 2 minutes and 4 nm was a gradual decrease in altitude. The aircraft continued to alternate between climb and level cruise phases, with the final descent phase beginning 1 mile south west of Cabrerizos.
The final approach to runway 21 at Salamanca Airport was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft descending from 3,913 ft to 154 ft agl in a distance of 2 nm. The landing on runway 21 was made at a speed of 66 kt, which was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown point was 414 m beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,104 m, representing 44% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 154 nm, with a total flight time of 83 minutes and a fuel consumption of 50 kg.
The final approach to runway 21 at LESA Salamanca Airport from the north east was initiated at 0 nm and 154 ft above ground level, heading 197.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 122 ft above ground level, which was excessively over target. The threshold speed of 66 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight delay in the flare.
The aircraft touched down 414 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 66 kt, which was fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -480 fpm, indicating a high rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centreline, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown. The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,104 meters, accounting for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.5 meters from the centreline, indicating a deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, but with room for improvement, resulting in a score of 75.4%.
