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 618 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 618 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 71 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 UGSA Natakhtari Airfield. The aircraft, a Cessna 152, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 51 knots. The takeoff distance was 76 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of UGMT Nataxtari Airfield Mtskheta. The climb started from an altitude of 2,769 feet above sea level and continued to 5,287 feet, an increase of 2,519 feet in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 2 miles north of UGMM Mukhrani Airport Mukhrani. The descent started from an altitude of 5,320 feet above sea level and continued to 2,644 feet, a decrease of 2,676 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles during this time.
As the aircraft approached the airfield, it began its final approach to runway 10 from the west. The aircraft was heading at 108.0 degrees and was 2 nautical miles from the runway at an altitude of 931 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 41 knots. The touchdown distance was 68 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was excellent at -87 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The total landing distance was 267 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and safely, with a good landing and a controlled rollout.
The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at UGMT Nataxtari Airfield, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 108.0° at 2 nautical miles and 931 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 10.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 43 knots was well below the target, indicating a safe and controlled descent. However, pilots were advised to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was slightly low. The touchdown distance of 68 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 41 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -87 feet per minute (fpm) was an excellent result, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 270°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance of 267 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
