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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at FKKN N'Gaoundéré Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 20, and the takeoff distance was 1,504 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 222°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of FKKN N'Gaoundéré Airport and continued for 23 minutes, covering 156 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from 4,657 feet above sea level to 39,412 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,755 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northeast of Sunkuru in Taraba State, Nigeria. This phase lasted for 63 minutes and covered 495 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 22 miles southwest of Birnin Kebbi in Kebbi State, Nigeria, and lasted for 26 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,454 feet above sea level to 2,482 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,972 feet. The descent covered 127 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at DRRN Diori Hamani International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 266.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,755 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,986 meters, and the threshold height was above the target at 60 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 33°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,231 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 786 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 119 minutes. The aircraft used 4,043 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Overall, you should be proud of your aircraft landing score of 90.4%. Your Landing Phase showed some areas for improvement, with the threshold speed being slightly above target at 142 kt. It is important to work on maintaining the correct speed during approach to ensure a smoother touchdown.
Although the threshold height at 60 ft agl was above target, your landing flare was very good, which is a positive aspect of your landing technique. The Touchdown Phase, however, revealed some areas that need attention. The touchdown rate of -253 ft/m is fair, but could be improved with more practice and focus on maintaining a steady descent rate.
Additionally, the touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast, which could lead to harder landings and increased wear and tear on the aircraft. It is essential to aim for the target touchdown speed to ensure a safe and smooth landing. The touchdown point being 126 m beyond the touchdown zone is a significant deviation and may indicate a need to focus on improving your approach and landing accuracy.
Furthermore, the runway touchdown position being misaligned by 11.7 m from the centerline is another area that requires attention. Proper alignment is crucial for safe landings and avoiding potential runway incursions.
In conclusion, while your aircraft landing score is commendable, there are specific areas in the Landing and Touchdown Phases that could benefit from targeted practice and improvement. By focusing on maintaining the correct speed, descent rate, and alignment during the landing process, you can work towards achieving even better results in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in your flying skills.
