Hold the approach speed
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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,552 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 141 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna 310R, then departed from runway 09 at SVBM Barquisimeto International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,574 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 86°F, a wind speed of 2 knots at 69°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,255 feet above sea level to 7,231 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,977 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This climb started 4 miles southwest of Yaritagua, Estado Yaracuy, Venezuela. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 40 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 3 miles southeast of Yaritagua.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 7,454 feet above sea level to 8,213 feet above sea level, an increase of 759 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb started 7 miles northwest of Tinaquillo, Estado Cojedes, Venezuela. After this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 5 miles north of Tinaquillo.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent from 8,330 feet above sea level to 7,501 feet above sea level, a decrease of 829 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This descent started 6 miles southwest of SVQO Tocuyito Airport, Tocuyito, Estado Carabobo, Venezuela. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 4 miles south of SVQO Tocuyito Airport.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 6,813 feet above sea level to 3,761 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,052 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles southeast of Los Teques, Miranda, Venezuela. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at SVCS Oscar Machado Zuluaga Airport from the west, heading 94.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,618 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10 at SVCS Oscar Machado Zuluaga Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 138 feet and a touchdown speed of 85 knots, which was slightly below the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 81°F, a wind speed of 4 knots at 35°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 154 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 199 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 310R aircraft successfully landed at SVCS Oscar Machado Zuluaga Airport, achieving a score of 91.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 94.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,618 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 6,552 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 85 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 138 feet. The touchdown speed of 85 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, being 26 feet off the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 35°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,689 feet, which is 26% of the runway length. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centreline.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and distance. However, there were some minor issues with the runway alignment, which could be addressed in future landings to improve the score.
