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 rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, where the Beechcraft Baron G58 took off with a takeoff distance of 323 meters, which is 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 190 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Voglans, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, from an altitude of 1,395 feet above sea level to 4,982 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,587 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south of Brison-Saint-Innocent, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Challonges, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, where the aircraft descended from 4,986 feet above sea level to 2,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,983 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed overhead Confort, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LFHN Bellegarde-Vouvray Airfield was made from the south, heading 357.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 292 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 121 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was 76 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 404 meters, which is 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 35 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used 17 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 successfully landed at LFHN Bellegarde-Vouvray Airfield, achieving an impressive score of 87.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 357.0° at 1 nautical mile and 292 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 75 knots, registering at 76 knots. This slight deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 121 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The landing rate was firm, with a descent rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled approach, avoiding any excessive sink rates that could have compromised the safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's attention to detail and ability to navigate the aircraft to the desired location.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a headwind of 10 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth execution of the landing. The total landing distance of 404 meters was 74% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed and descent rate to bring it to a safe stop within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing, when the aircraft is transitioning from a high-speed touchdown to a low-speed taxi. Overall, the Beechcraft Baron G58's landing at LFHN Bellegarde-Vouvray Airfield was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing.
