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 2.8° off, against a 1° limit and speed 21 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Jerez Airport (LEJR), the Cessna Longitude began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 02, utilizing 51% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 20°C, with a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 172°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from Jerez, it began its enroute climb phase, which started approximately 1 mile north of the airport. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, from 1,090 feet above sea level to 37,019 feet, a rise of 35,929 feet in just 12 minutes. This phase of the flight covered a distance of 74 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a prolonged enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 200 minutes and spanned a distance of 1,643 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of enroute descents, including a notable descent from 36,937 feet to 16,212 feet in 11 minutes, covering 66 nautical miles.
The final approach to El Nuzha Airport (HEAX) was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending from 15,606 feet to 728 feet above ground level in 17 minutes, covering 68 nautical miles. The landing was made on runway 22, with a touchdown distance of 373 meters and a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was slightly faster than optimal. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.3 meters. The total landing distance was 756 meters, accounting for 35% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in a total distance of 1,860 nautical miles, using 4,151 kilograms of fuel and taking a total of 253 minutes.
The final approach to runway 22 at HEAX El Nuzha Airport from the north east was conducted at a heading of 226.0°, commencing at 2 nautical miles and 730 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the desired level, reaching 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a fast touchdown speed of 116 knots, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 373 meters was within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, deviating by 11.7 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 756 meters, accounting for 35% of the runway length, was reasonable.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the centreline was again compromised, this time by 15.3 meters. Despite this, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, earning a score of 91.7%. The crew's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and position during the approach and touchdown phases was commendable, although some room for improvement remains in terms of speed control and centreline alignment.
