See Arrival Approach
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 81 kt with 4.9° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 114 kt target, at 114 kt on average.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 947 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 295 m of runway left; gear up at 21 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,080 fpm on average to 947 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 879 m runway.
Rolled from 95 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 33 m at the widest, and lifted off 33 m right, in 19 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 40 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline more than 1° off.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: banked until 3.0 nm, gear up until 2.1 nm, no landing flap until 1.1 nm, left of the centreline from 2.2 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 3.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 340 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 392 m right of the centreline at 3.4 nm, then inside it from 2.5 to 2.2 nm, then 135 m left of it from 2.2 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The aircraft touched down before the threshold. Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.
6 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 70 kt. Touched down with the nose 5° left of the track, away from the wind, wings level.
Wind 263° at 20 kt · 19 kt head · 6 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 52 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 828 m of the approach.
Began the flare at 34 ft, 162 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 51 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 29 m before the threshold.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 828 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Plan view — the full 828 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 29 m short of the threshold. The 669 fpm arrival was firm.
The rest of the report
Departing from Avranches Le Val-Saint-Père Airfield, the Bonanza G36 began its takeoff roll on runway 21, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 82 kt in a distance of 362 meters, which accounted for 41% of the available runway length. The aircraft then transitioned into a steady climb, leaving the airfield and entering the enroute phase of the flight. Climbing from an initial altitude of 1,187 feet above sea level to 2,127 feet, the aircraft achieved a vertical gain of 940 feet in just one minute, covering a horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued on its journey, it entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 9 minutes while covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was initiated approximately 1 mile south of Genets, Normandie, France. The aircraft then began its descent, preparing for the final approach to runway 24 at Granville Airport. The approach was conducted from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 232.0° at an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level, approximately 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The Bonanza G36 touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 70 kt. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -507 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was satisfactory, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 8.0 meters. The total landing distance was 190 meters, accounting for 23% of the available runway length. The aircraft used a total of 8 kilograms of fuel for the 26-nautical-mile flight, which lasted approximately 13 minutes.
