Track the centreline on final
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.
The approach that landed joined below the 1,000 ft and 500 ft gates, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
Side view — the last 986 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 251 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 22 at the Aérodrome de Grenoble Le Versoud, where the aircraft, a DR 400, took off with a takeoff distance of 87 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 67 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 357 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead the town of Domene in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,005 feet above sea level to 2,060 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,055 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered another 3 nautical miles, as it flew overhead the town of Villard-Bonnot.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Domene once again, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,752 feet above sea level to 720 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,032 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to the Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield, where it performed a go-around on runway 32 at an altitude of 0 feet above ground level.
The final approach to runway 32 was made from the southeast, heading 331.0 degrees at an altitude of 395 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 62 knots and a touchdown distance of 233 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -76 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 357 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 482 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 29 nautical miles and lasted for 26 minutes, using 7 kilograms of fuel.
The DR 400 01 aircraft successfully landed at LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield, achieving a score of 91.7%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 331.0° at an altitude of 395 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, meeting the required threshold speed of 73 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 233 meters. The touchdown speed was 62 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -76 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 357°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 482 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the required parameters.
