Hold the approach angle
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: 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 1,177 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,177 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 177 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 28 at N94 Carlisle, a small airfield in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States. The Cessna 152 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 82 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 48 knots, marking the beginning of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was a mere 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Carlisle, where the aircraft began its ascent from an altitude of 677 feet above sea level to 2,050 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,373 feet in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 28 at N94 Carlisle, approaching from the east at a heading of 273.0 degrees and at an altitude of 809 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 37 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 175 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway's total length. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -94 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.0 meters.
The aircraft's rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.1 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft using a total of 272 meters of runway. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at N94 Carlisle, achieving a score of 89.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 273.0° at 1 nautical mile and 809 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 28, which has a length of 1,177 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 50 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 175 meters, and the touchdown speed of 37 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with an excellent rate of -94 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control throughout the landing process. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 272 meters, which is only 23% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land efficiently and maintain control throughout the process.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. This may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase, but overall, the landing was considered successful.
