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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 924 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 924 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 38 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 35 at LFMD Cannes-Mandelieu Airport, where the aircraft, a P180, took off with a takeoff distance of 486 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Mandelieu-la-Napoule, a town in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,080 feet above sea level to 10,037 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,957 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 6 miles southeast of Cannes, another town in the same region. The descent took place from an altitude of 10,013 feet above sea level to 1,606 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,407 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LFTZ La Môle Airport was made from the northeast, heading 243.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,528 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 took place with a runway length of 924 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 108 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 37 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 107 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 489 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 40 nautical miles, and the flight took 16 minutes to complete, using 128 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LFTZ La Môle Airport, with a score of 98.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 243.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,528 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 924 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 108 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 37 meters. The touchdown speed was 107 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 489 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a good approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the performance criteria.
