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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport took 16 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 113 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,042 meters represented 59% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 16°C, with a wind of 23 knots at 317°, resulting in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 1,830 feet above sea level, reaching 38,585 feet in 25 minutes and covering 119 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 36,755 feet. Following a 62-minute level cruise at 38,585 feet, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude to 22,895 feet in 9 minutes and covering 61 nautical miles. This pattern of level cruise and descent was repeated several times, with the aircraft eventually beginning its final approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field).
The final approach was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 159.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 431 meters and a touchdown speed of 87 knots. The touchdown rate was 15 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total landing distance was 723 meters, representing 34% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 695 nautical miles, with a flight time of 2 hours and 9 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 615 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) was executed from the north, with the aircraft Cockspur PH100 aligning with the runway at 2 nm and 1,257 ft above ground level, heading 159.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 100 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 87 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of 15 fpm was perfect, demonstrating precise control during the touchdown phase.
The touchdown distance of 431 m was good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.6 m, which may have been due to crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a headwind of 23 kt, may have contributed to the slight misalignment. The total landing distance of 723 m was 34% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained on the runway, but the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.5 m. This may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown misalignment. Despite this, the overall landing performance of the Cockspur PH100 was satisfactory, with a score of 95.2%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's handling characteristics were demonstrated to be effective in executing a safe and controlled landing.
