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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,664 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 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 21 at N72 Warwick Municipal Airport. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 75 knots. The takeoff distance was 306 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 188°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of N72 Warwick Municipal Airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,421 feet above sea level to 5,104 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,683 feet in just 4 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase of the flight started 1 mile south of Tuxedo Park, New York, and lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent overhead Paramus, New Jersey. The descent took place from an altitude of 3,904 feet above sea level to 1,910 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,994 feet in just 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at KTEB Teterboro Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 191.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,888 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 at KTEB Teterboro Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 43 knots and a distance of 425 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -144 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 278°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 529 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KTEB Teterboro Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 191.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,888 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, considering the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 278°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 1,664 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach. However, the threshold speed of 72 knots was also slightly above the target, suggesting a slightly faster approach than desired. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown distance of 425 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -144 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent and a stable approach. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the approach procedure in the future.
The total landing distance of 529 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of achieving the target threshold height and speed, as well as maintaining a more accurate runway touchdown position.
