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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,086 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 931 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a 404 Titan, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYQG Windsor Airport. This process took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 2,380 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from CYQG Windsor Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting one mile southwest of the airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,655 feet above sea level to 1,751 feet, an increase of 96 feet, in less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for four minutes and covered a distance of seven nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at KDET Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 316.0 degrees and at an altitude of 987 feet above ground level, two nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 81 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 926 feet, and the touchdown speed was 67 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was excellent at -79 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot at 247 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,940 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was seven minutes. The aircraft used -1 pound of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft 404, a Titan model, successfully landed at KDET Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport with a high score of 91.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 316.0° at 2 nautical miles and 987 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on runway 33, which has a length of 5,086 feet.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 81 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 926 feet, and the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range at 67 knots. The most notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -79 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were a few minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline, which may have been caused by a slight drift during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 247°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind component. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 38% of the runway length, covering a total distance of 1,940 feet.
