Hold the approach angle
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 206 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 to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 09 at EGJB Guernsey Airport. The takeoff distance was 553 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 123 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft climbed from 391 meters above sea level to 857 meters above sea level, an increase of 466.1 meters, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The enroute climb started overhead EGJB Guernsey Airport and Saint Peter Port, and continued to climb from 900 meters above sea level to 4,168 meters above sea level, an increase of 3,267.9 meters, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 43 minutes and covering 147 nautical miles, as it flew over Quettetot in Normandie, France.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 4,259 meters above sea level to 3,035 meters above sea level, a decrease of 1,223.7 meters, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again, this time lasting 3 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over Kingston in Kent, England.
The aircraft then began its final descent, from 2,848 meters above sea level to 888 meters above sea level, a decrease of 1,960.2 meters, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started once more, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over Dartford in Kent, England.
The final descent began 1 mile south east of Blackheath in Greater London, England, and continued from 877 meters above sea level to 576 meters above sea level, a decrease of 300.7 meters, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, as it flew over Brixton in Greater London, England.
The final approach to runway 09 at EGLC London City Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 94.0° at 2 nautical miles and 535.0 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 1,334 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 127 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 208 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 120 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -2.9 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 539 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 n
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at EGLC London City Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 94.0° at an altitude of 535.0 meters above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 120 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 208 meters was deemed satisfactory. The touchdown rate was notably high at -2.9 m/s, indicating a hard landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.4 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 14 kt from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 13 kt. The aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the wind conditions.
The total landing distance of 539 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11.5 meters. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from optimal performance.
