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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,503 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 29 at SBPA Salgado Filho International Airport in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 481 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 109 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 30 knots coming from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 27 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 10,748 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,717 feet from the initial altitude of 1,031 feet, in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 7 miles east of Gravatai, Brazil, and lasted for 21 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 84 nautical miles. The cruise phase was interrupted by a descent, which began 4 miles east of Sombrio, Brazil, and resulted in a decrease of 7,813 feet in altitude in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles southeast of Icara, Brazil, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, which began 2 miles south of SBJA Humberto Ghizzo Bortoluzzi Regional Airport in Jaguaruna, Brazil, and resulted in a decrease of 1,267 feet in altitude in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at SBJA Humberto Ghizzo Bortoluzzi Regional Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 219.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,555 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 79 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots coming from a direction of 273 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 870 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 149 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 97 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at SBJA Humberto Ghizzo Bortoluzzi Regional Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 219.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,555 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 97 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown point was 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 79 kt was also deemed good, and the touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting a controlled descent.
Despite the successful touchdown, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline. This discrepancy may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 4 kt at 273°, and a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 870 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have drifted off course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate. However, the misaligned touchdown and rollout positions may indicate areas for improvement in terms of pilot technique and aircraft handling.
