Get the gear down sooner
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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,237 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 433 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 19 at Teterboro Airport (KTEB), where the aircraft, an SR22, accelerated down the 302-meter runway, covering 18% of its length, before lifting off at a speed of 83 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 200 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 532 feet above sea level (asl) before beginning its enroute climb, which started overhead Moonachie, New Jersey. During this climb, the aircraft ascended 400 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 17 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 1,149 feet asl to 2,543 feet asl, an increase of 1,395 feet in just 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This climb started 2 miles southeast of South Beach, New York. After this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which lasted for 58 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, starting overhead Belford, New Jersey.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, which started 3 miles south of Tinton Falls, New Jersey. During this descent, the aircraft dropped 2,210 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles, before leveling off at an altitude of 884 feet asl.
The final approach to runway 14 at Monmouth Executive Airport (KBLM) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 132.0 degrees at an altitude of 764 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots and a touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 432 meters, which was 28% of the runway length.
The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 2,237 meters long, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 81 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 200 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 623 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used 31 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KBLM Monmouth Executive Airport, achieving a high score of 93.6%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 132.0° at 2 nautical miles and 764 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 14.
The runway at KBLM Monmouth Executive Airport has a length of 2,237 meters, providing a safe margin for the SR22's landing. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 81 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 432 meters was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots was smooth and controlled.
The landing rate was particularly noteworthy, with a smooth descent rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled approach, avoiding any sudden or excessive deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing, with the aircraft requiring a total distance of 623 meters to come to a stop. This represents a relatively short landing distance, accounting for only 28% of the available runway length.
The rollout alignment after touchdown was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the SR22's landing at KBLM Monmouth Executive Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control, precision, and adherence to safe landing procedures.
