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 1,059 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,059 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 11 at UGAM Ambrolauri Airport. The takeoff distance was 435 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 170°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ambrolauri in the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti region of Georgia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,345 feet above sea level to 3,212 feet, an increase of 867 feet, in just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at UGAM Ambrolauri Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 97.0° at an altitude of 766 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 69 knots and a touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute, which was considered perfect. The touchdown distance was 368 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 245°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 744 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, during which the aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at UGAM Ambrolauri Airport, achieving a high score of 93.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 97.0° at 2 nautical miles and 766 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 11.
The runway at UGAM Ambrolauri Airport has a length of 1,059 meters, and the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and altitude to ensure a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 83 knots was also well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 368 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was within the recommended limits.
One notable aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at -47 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any significant impact. However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.8 meters off-centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 245°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 4 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 744 meters was 70% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control and precision to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was a success, with the SR22 aircraft demonstrating its capabilities and the pilot's expertise in navigating challenging weather conditions and airport configurations.
