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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,826 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,265 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a P180, then departed from runway 06 at KPMP Pompano Beach Airpark. The takeoff distance was 2,858 feet, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Lighthouse Point, Florida. The climb from 1,020 feet above sea level to 1,074 feet above sea level, an increase of 54 feet, took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Lighthouse Point and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 1,301 feet above sea level to 34,735 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,434 feet, which took 19 minutes and covered 55 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile south of Boca Raton, Florida.
The enroute level cruise then resumed, starting 3 miles south of 2IS Airglades Clewiston, Florida, and lasted for 99 minutes, covering 448 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 4 miles east of Pascagoula, Mississippi. The descent from 34,316 feet above sea level to 3,915 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,401 feet, took 18 minutes and covered 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time overhead 82LA Fisher's Field Chalmette, Louisiana, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead 82LA Fisher's Field Chalmette. The descent from 3,699 feet above sea level to 1,537 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,162 feet, took 4 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36L at KNEW Lakefront Airport was made from the south, heading 359.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,533 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36L was successful, with a runway length of 5,826 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 117 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,271 feet, and the touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -82 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was also 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,766 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 600 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 150 minutes. The aircraft used 1,541 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at KNEW Lakefront Airport, achieving a near-perfect score of 99.9%. The final approach to runway 36L was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,533 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision, touching down on the runway with a speed of 104 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 117 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,271 feet was also well within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The landing rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, showcasing the pilot's exceptional skill and ability to manage the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning itself precisely with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,766 feet was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, even in the final stages of the approach.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft even after touchdown, smoothly bringing it to a stop without any deviation from the centerline. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's capabilities.
