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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,590 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 228 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a PC-12, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Strasbourg Airport (LFST). This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the aircraft taking off after covering 29% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 692 meters, and the liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 350°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Holtzheim, France, where the aircraft ascended from 1,489 feet above sea level to 15,915 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,425 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Grendelbruch, France, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 16,168 feet above sea level to 10,034 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,133 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles northwest of Gondrexange, France.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Virming, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 9,332 feet above sea level to 3,318 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,014 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Morhange, France.
The enroute level cruise began again 2 miles east of Sorneville, France, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its climb from 3,311 feet above sea level to 8,498 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,187 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. This climb started 1 mile west of Mainvillers, France.
The enroute descent began overhead Tonnoy, France, where the aircraft descended from 8,635 feet above sea level to 2,721 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,913 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Nancy-Essey Airport (LFSN) took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 11.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,841 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with the aircraft covering 30% of the runway's length. The touchdown distance was 226 meters, and the touchdown speed was 77 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 329°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 481 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 120 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at LFSN Nancy-Essey Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 11.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,841 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 03, which has a length of 1,590 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 85 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 226 meters. The touchdown speed of 77 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.3 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 329°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 481 meters was within 30% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures.
