Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,124 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,178 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 21 at P14 Holbrook Municipal Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,761 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 109 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 299°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Holbrook, Arizona, and ascended from an altitude of 6,239 feet above sea level to 12,251 feet, an increase of 6,012 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 12 miles north of the Heber Airport, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead the Camp Verde Airport, where the aircraft descended from 11,917 feet to 5,871 feet, a decrease of 6,046 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at the Sedona Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0°, at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 1,120 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a runway length of 5,124 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 108 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,171 feet, which was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 103 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate, however, was perfect at 106 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 13 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 38°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 3,660 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 108 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 476 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,120 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 108 knots was within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 1,171 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 103 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly earlier than planned.
The touchdown rate of 106 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's path during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 38°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 3,660 feet was 71% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown.
