Track the centreline on final
See Arrival Final 1
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 45 kt with 7.7° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 232 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 3,243 ft of runway left; then climbing at 740 fpm on average to 232 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 4,514 ft runway.
Rolled from 738 ft in, drifted right of the centreline, 30 ft at the widest, and lifted off 28 ft right. Airborne 17 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 2° off the runway's 3° and centreline more than 1° off.
The approach, gate by gate
three-point landing
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Fair landing flare
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 081° at 5 kt · 4 kt head · 0 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 44 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 407 ft in, 593 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 910 fpm at 45 ft to 500 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.3° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 1 ft of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 407 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.81 G arrival bounced 3 times.
The rest of the report
Departure from Almeirim Airport, SNYA, began with a smooth roll down runway 06, where the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 46 kt within 795 ft, representing 18% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 78 °F and a gentle wind of 3 kt from 81 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 831 ft above sea level to 2,360 ft, a vertical gain of 1,528 ft over a distance of 4 nm, achieved within 2 minutes. This climb phase was followed by a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 2,421 ft for 11 minutes while covering 18 nm. The final descent phase began 22 miles west of Almeirim, where the aircraft descended from 2,005 ft to 584 ft, a decrease of 1,421 ft over a distance of 3 nm, within 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, descending from 518 ft above ground level to 0 ft agl, with a touchdown speed of 50 kt and a touchdown rate of -468 fpm.
The landing rollout phase was characterized by a smooth transition from the runway to the taxiway, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of 31 ft above sea level and covering a distance of 77 ft. The total flight distance was 28 nm, with a total flight time of 27 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5 lbs. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 78 °F and a wind of 4 kt from 81 °, resulting in a slight headwind component and a negligible crosswind component.
