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.

Side view — the last 724 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 724 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 93 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 Santa Fe Municipal Airport (KSAF) took approximately 5 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed runway 15, with a takeoff distance of 530 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 99 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind of 20 knots at 149°.
As the aircraft climbed away from KSAF, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 17,010 feet above sea level in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The climb was a significant increase of 9,877 feet from the initial altitude of 7,134 feet. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 17,010 feet for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 8 miles southeast of Cripple Creek, Colorado, and resulted in a decrease of 8,514 feet in altitude over a distance of 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time at 1 mile southwest of Monument, Colorado, for a brief 9-minute period, covering 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at Everitt Airport (1CO8) was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 59.0° at 3 nautical miles and 2,001 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 91 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 182 meters. The touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 84 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 483 meters, accounting for 59% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 249 nautical miles, taking approximately 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 172 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05 at 1CO8 Everitt Airport from the south west was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 59.0° at 3 nm and 2,001 ft above ground level. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 91 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 182 m and a speed of 84 kt. The touchdown rate was firm at -332 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, the overall touchdown characteristics were satisfactory. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 113°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 483 m, accounting for 59% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 87.3%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the ideal.
