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.

Plan view — the full 1,337 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 187 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 27 at LFMR Barcelonnette - Saint-Pons Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 580 meters, which was 81% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 65 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, with no crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Meolans-Revel in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. This phase lasted for 1 minute and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began a climb from 4,450 feet above sea level to 5,600 feet, an increase of 1,150 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute level cruise and climb phases, each with varying durations and distances covered. These phases took the aircraft over various locations in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France and into the Piemonte region of Italy. The climb phase from 6,923 feet to 8,875 feet above sea level, for example, covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 5 minutes.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase starting 1 mile north east of Barcelonnette, which lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles. The flight then began a descent phase from 9,839 feet above sea level to 8,393 feet, a decrease of 1,446 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LIMG Riviera Villanova d'Albenga International Airport was made from the east, heading 267.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 840 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 183 meters, a touchdown speed of 50 knots, and a touchdown rate of -33 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The total landing distance was 347 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 107 nautical miles, and the flight used 28 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LIMG Riviera Villanova d'Albenga International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 840 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 15°C, with a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from the northwest (270°). This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 0 knots and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The pilot effectively managed these conditions to ensure a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 55 knots, registering at 50 knots. This was a good indication of the pilot's control and ability to manage the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 183 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's precision in executing the landing.
The touchdown rate of -33 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, showing that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final approach.
The total landing distance of 347 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the distance required to come to a stop.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.3%.
