Hold the approach angle

Arrival Final 3

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,685 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°F temperature and a 6-knot wind at 310°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The climb took 15 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 759 feet above sea level to 17,341 feet, an increase of 16,582 feet. The climb covered a distance of 37 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 9 miles southeast of Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island.
