Hold the glidepath
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 4.5° against the runway's 3° and wings 15° of bank, against a 10° limit.

Side view — the last 1,492 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,492 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 363 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Augsburg Airport, runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 731 meters, accounting for 57% of the runway length. The Phenom 300E lifted off at a speed of 120 knots, with a local temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and wind conditions of 4 knots at 10 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to 41,381 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 83 nautical miles in 14 minutes, achieving an increase of 38,852 feet. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 2 miles northeast of Pfronten, lasting 50 minutes and covering 380 nautical miles. The descent phase from 41,368 feet to 4,126 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,242 feet, was completed in 20 minutes, covering 120 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, followed by descents, before commencing the final approach to runway 23 at Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport.
The final approach was executed from the northeast, with a heading of 231.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 320 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 363 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 99 knots, and the touchdown rate was -250 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 775 meters, and the taxiing to the parking area took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 602 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 104 minutes and a fuel consumption of 751 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at LIRI Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a threshold speed of 110 kt that was precisely maintained. The touchdown distance of 363 m was also good, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 99 kt was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -250 fpm, while not ideal, was still fair considering the local conditions.
The aircraft's centreline alignment during the rollout phase was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and coordination from the pilot. The runway rollout alignment was also spot on, with the aircraft tracking the centreline precisely. The total landing distance of 775 m, which accounted for 52% of the runway length, was reasonable given the local wind conditions. The headwind of 10 kt at 230° had a minimal impact on the landing, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 97.8% reflecting the high standard of execution. The approach, touchdown, and rollout phases were all well-coordinated, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected standards. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle headwind, did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot, and the aircraft handled the conditions with ease.
