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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 01 at LIRZ San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,213 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 119 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the tailwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Torchiagina in Umbria, Italy, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 540 meters above sea level to 5,642 meters above sea level, an increase of 5,102.5 meters in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Bagnoregio in Lazio, Italy, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles. The descent started 16 miles east of Golfo Aranci in Sardegna, Italy, where the aircraft descended from 5,666 meters above sea level to 506 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,159.8 meters in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport was made from the southwest, heading 55.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 492.5 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 336 meters and a touchdown speed of 110 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.4 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 14 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 854 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 202 nautical miles, took 74 minutes, and used 673 kilograms of fuel.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 55.0° at an altitude of 492.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, demonstrating precise control and navigation skills.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 110 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 336 meters was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed. The total landing distance of 854 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing.
The runway rollout alignment was particularly noteworthy, as it was very good. This suggests that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and navigation skills in challenging weather conditions.
