Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 6,474 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 642 ft 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 36 at KSIV Sullivan County Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, required a takeoff distance of 2,046 feet, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of KSIV Sullivan County Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,536 feet above sea level and continued to 8,499 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,963 feet in just 4 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 16 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of 52IN Higginbotham Field Prairieton. This phase of the flight lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 2 miles east of Plattville, Illinois. The descent started at an altitude of 8,496 feet above sea level and continued to 1,995 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,501 feet in just 6 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 269.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.
The landing on runway 27 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 99 knots and a distance of 626 feet. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,566 feet, which was 24% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 168 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 6,474 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 105 knots. The touchdown distance of 626 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 99 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,566 feet was 24% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The most notable aspect of this landing was the perfect runway rollout alignment, which suggests that the pilot maintained excellent control and coordination throughout the landing process. Overall, the Cessna Longitude's performance during this landing was impressive, with a high score and a smooth, controlled touchdown.
