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.
Side view — the last 600 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 600 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 12 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.80 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14 at LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance covered 42% of the runway, with a total distance of 417 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Challes-les-Eaux, a town located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 1,229 feet above sea level to 2,099 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of one nautical mile. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead La Ravoire, another town in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region. This phase of the flight lasted for two minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of four nautical miles. The cruise phase was a period of steady flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain its altitude and speed.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 36R at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 357.0 degrees at a distance of two nautical miles and an altitude of 670 feet above ground level. The approach was carefully managed, with the aircraft descending smoothly towards the runway.
The landing itself was a success, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 50 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at just eight meters, and the touchdown speed was also within the target range. The touchdown rate was firm, at -383 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had carefully managed the approach.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just three minutes and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance was eight nautical miles, and the flight lasted for ten minutes. The aircraft used a total of five kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 85.6%. The final approach to runway 36R was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 357.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 670 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 50 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement. The touchdown distance of 8 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown speed of 50 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -383 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessively hard. This suggests that the pilot maintained a good control over the aircraft's descent and managed to touch down smoothly on the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach. This is an important aspect of landing safely and efficiently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling. However, the pilot's skills and experience likely helped to mitigate any potential issues caused by the weather.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining the target threshold speed.
