See Arrival Final 3
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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and wings not level.

Plan view — the full 594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 154 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, then departed from runway 24 at the LFHU Alpiport L'Alpe d'Huez - Henri GIRAUD. The takeoff distance was 324 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 75 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 271°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Huez in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,060 feet above sea level to 9,996 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,937 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northeast of Livet-et-Gavet, lasting for 17 minutes and covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 9,597 feet above sea level to 3,202 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,395 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35 at the LFHZ Ancien aérodrome de Sallanches Mont-Blanc was made from the south, heading 335.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,435 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 151 meters, which was 73% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 61 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -89 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°.
The total landing distance was 432 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 63 nautical miles, taking approximately 29 minutes, and the aircraft used 68 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question is a Kodiak 100, which successfully landed at the Ancien aérodrome de Sallanches Mont-Blanc, with a final approach score of 99.1%. The aircraft was approaching runway 35 from the south, heading 335.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,435 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a smooth landing, with a threshold speed of 68 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 151 meters was also within acceptable limits. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 61 knots was satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and gentle descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.1 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The total landing distance of 432 meters was 73% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
