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 500 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 500 ft gate: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° 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 1,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Carcassonne Airport (LFMK), the Black Square Caravan Professional Amphibian N511KG began its journey with a taxiing period of 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 09, utilizing 43% of the 1,794-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 78 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 34°C, with a 20-knot headwind and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude, it transitioned through various phases, including a 3-minute climb from 997 feet above sea level to 3,002 feet, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phases, which lasted between 3 and 14 minutes, allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude while covering significant distances. Notably, the climb from 1,321 feet to 3,010 feet, which occurred over Toulouse, resulted in an increase of 1,689 feet in just 3 minutes. The aircraft's performance was further demonstrated by its ability to maintain a steady altitude during the level cruise phases, with some segments covering distances of up to 33 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated a final descent and final approach to runway 09 at LFMK Carcassonne Airport. The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 71 knots and a touchdown rate of -35 feet per minute. The total landing distance of 657 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway, was well within the acceptable range. Following a smooth taxiing period of 2 minutes, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 106 nautical miles while consuming 132 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, Black Square Caravan Professional Amphibian N511KG, successfully executed a final approach to runway 09 at LFMK Carcassonne Airport from the west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 73.0° at 2 nautical miles and 865 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 73 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 332 meters, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a perfect touchdown rate of -35 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind of 16 knots at 90°, presented a moderate headwind component of 16 knots, which was effectively managed by the pilot. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, allowing for a smooth and controlled touchdown. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by a total landing distance of 657 meters, which represented only 37% of the runway length.
Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained a very good runway rollout alignment, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.4%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The landing was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise, with all key performance figures well within the acceptable range.
