Track the centreline
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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.0° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,827 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 336 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB) took less than a minute, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 25R, utilizing 607 meters, or 20% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 93 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 11 knots from 270 degrees, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from KDAB, it began its enroute climb approximately one mile southwest of the airport, rising from an initial altitude of 1,089 feet above sea level to 2,004 feet, an increase of 915 feet in just one minute, while covering a distance of three nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 2,004 feet for seven minutes as it covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12 at Deland Municipal Sidney H Taylor Field (KDED) was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 435 feet above ground level to touch down on the runway.
The landing on runway 12 at KDED was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 72 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 335 meters was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 3 knots from 224 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot tailwind and a negligible crosswind. The total landing distance of 650 meters, or 36% of the runway, was well within the acceptable range. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 21 nautical miles and utilizing 12 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 12 at KDED Deland Municipal Sidney H Taylor Field was executed from the north west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 117.0° at 2 nautical miles and 435 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a well-established visual reference to the runway environment. The threshold speed, however, was above the target value at 83 knots, indicating a slightly high approach speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 335 meters, with a smooth touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was a little fast, but the aircraft's deceleration was well-managed, allowing for a controlled rollout. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 224°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 650 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between touchdown distance and runway utilization. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
