Track the centreline on final
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 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C182, then departed from runway 06 at KSBD San Bernardino International Airport. The takeoff distance was 243 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 58 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 359 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Highland, California. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,873 feet above sea level to 3,287 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,414 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead KSBD San Bernardino International Airport. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead San Bernardino, California. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,470 feet above sea level to 2,296 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,174 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile north east of Rialto, California. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 1 mile north west of L67 Rialto Mun/Miro Rialto. The climb took 2 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,703 feet above sea level to 4,043 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,341 feet.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 7 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles. This phase took place 2 miles north west of Fontana, California. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north of Pomona, California. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,724 feet above sea level to 1,531 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,193 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 6 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile south of San Dimas, California. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south east of Duarte, California. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 1,389 feet above sea level to 793 feet above sea level, a decrease of 596 feet.
The final approach to runway 19 at KEMT San Gabriel Valley Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 192.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 510 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 118 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 64 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 245 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the
The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at KEMT San Gabriel Valley Airport, achieving a score of 89.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 192.0° at 2 nautical miles and 510 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 64 knots, which may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor miscalculation. However, the touchdown distance of 118 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind of 2 knots at 220°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 245 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and distances, which may be addressed through further training and practice.
