Flight Score
Arrival
Shallow the descent on final to re-intercept the glideslope and cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The aircraft was off the glideslope during the approach, tracking low against the required path.
Watch for: Watch the glideslope indicator and threshold height, targeting 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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 300 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 300 ft gate: glideslope 5.9° against the runway's 3.5° and centreline 3.7° 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 1,567 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Sedona Airport (KSEZ) commenced with a roll on runway 21, utilizing 631 meters, approximately 40% of the available runway length. The aircraft, a Cessna 152, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 62 knots, clearing the ground at a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind of 1 knot from a direction of 34 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, with a slight tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it ascended from 5,099 feet above sea level to 5,593 feet, a gain of 495 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, the aircraft began its enroute descent, reducing altitude from 5,946 feet to 5,198 feet, a decrease of 748 feet in 2 minutes, and covering 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from a heading of 226.0 degrees, at an altitude of 446 feet above ground level, and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the threshold.
The landing was executed with precision, with a touchdown speed of 39 knots and a touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute, both within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 781 meters, approximately 50% of the available runway length. The aircraft utilized 2 kilograms of fuel for the 10-nautical-mile flight, which lasted 8 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 60 kt, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown point was 208 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although slightly long, was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 39 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -170 fpm was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 34 °, were favorable for the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind of 1 kt had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 781 m, which accounted for 50% of the runway length, was reasonable, considering the aircraft's weight and the runway conditions.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The overall performance of the pilot was impressive, with a score of 95.5% indicating a high level of skill and proficiency in the landing phase. The landing was a testament to the pilot's ability to adapt to changing weather conditions and to execute a safe and controlled touchdown on the runway.
