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: 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,447 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 339 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 area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Bonanza G36, then departed from runway 13 at KSGJ Northeast Florida Regional Airport, located in Northeast Florida. The takeoff distance was 528 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 89 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KSGJ, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 502 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 10,049 feet above sea level, a total increase of 9,548 feet. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Penney Farms, Florida, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile west of Mayo, Florida, and took 7 minutes to descend from an altitude of 10,614 feet above sea level to 2,148 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 8,465 feet. The descent covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft began another enroute level cruise, this time starting 3 miles southwest of FA32 Circle P Airport Perry, Florida, and lasting for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at 40J Perry-Foley was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 116.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,783 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 1,447 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 72 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 336 meters, and the touchdown speed was 65 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 714 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 135 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -71 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at 40J Perry-Foley, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 116.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,783 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evidenced by the good threshold height and runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive, with a touchdown speed of 65 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm) further emphasizes the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt. The crosswind of 9 kt was effectively managed, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. The runway length of 1,447 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 714 meters, which is 49% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in the operation of the Bonanza G36 aircraft, with a score of 95.1%.
