Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,501 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 606 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 32 at LSZB Bern Airport. The takeoff distance was 607 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind of 3 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Muri, Canton de Berne, Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from 2,854 feet above sea level to 4,761 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,907 feet in 1 minute, covering 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Bern, Canton de Berne, Switzerland, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 4,821 feet above sea level to 43,816 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,995 feet in 14 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles. This climb took the aircraft over Bolligen, Canton de Berne, Switzerland.
After the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles west of Savognin, Kanton Graubunden, Switzerland, and lasted 49 minutes, covering 149 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Artegna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy, where the aircraft descended from 43,523 feet above sea level to 30,300 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,223 feet in 5 minutes, covering 37 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Davca, Obcina Zelezniki, Slovenia, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Sora, Medvode, Slovenia, where the aircraft descended from 30,233 feet above sea level to 16,783 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,450 feet in 9 minutes, covering 56 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Pirsenbreg, Obcina Brezice, Slovenia, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile southeast of Donje Oresje, Zagreb County, Croatia, where the aircraft descended from 16,766 feet above sea level to 2,870 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,897 feet in 16 minutes, covering 74 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Zdenci, Virovitica-Podravina, Croatia, and lasted 9 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at LHPP Pécs-Pogány Airport was from the southeast, heading 338.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 at LHPP Pécs-Pogány Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 170 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -272 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were 14°C temperature and a wind of 14 knots at 20°.
The total landing distance was 1,022 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at LHPP Pécs-Pogány Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south east, heading 338.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway at a speed of 107 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was located 170 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overextension of the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 96 kt was considered good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing.
The touchdown rate of -272 fpm was deemed fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and wind speeds of 14 kt at 20°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was still satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 1,022 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilot's performance was still commendable, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well-suited to the landing conditions.
