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 5,004 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 981 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted in a Mitsubishi MU-2B-35 Marquise aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft departed from runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,210 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 113 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 289°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of KSFZ North Central State Airport, Pawtucket, Rhode Island. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,347 feet above sea level to 1,854 feet, an increase of 506 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered a descent phase approximately 2 miles north of North Providence, Rhode Island. The descent took place from an altitude of 1,844 feet above sea level to 589 feet, a decrease of 1,255 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was conducted from the northeast, with a heading of 212.0° at an altitude of 155 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold speed of 117 knots and a touchdown speed of 104 knots. The touchdown distance was recorded at 985 feet, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was an excellent -76 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 271°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,731 feet, which accounted for 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used -1 pound of fuel during the flight.
The Mitsubishi MU-2B-35 Marquise successfully landed at KSFZ North Central State Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, aligning itself with the runway 23 threshold at a height of 155 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot executed a precise final approach, maintaining a heading of 212.0° and adhering to the standard threshold height. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 104 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 117 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed, allowing for a smooth touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 985 feet was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft's rate of descent was an impressive -76 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 271°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot, and the aircraft's performance was not affected.
The total landing distance of 3,731 feet was 75% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities. The Mitsubishi MU-2B-35 Marquise demonstrated its ability to operate safely and efficiently in a variety of conditions, making it a reliable choice for pilots and operators alike.
