Keep the wings level 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 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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,992 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,371 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA34T Seneca V, then departed from runway 23L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,447 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 225°. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of KRDU, rising from an altitude of 1,225 feet above sea level to 7,834 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,609 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Holly Springs, North Carolina. This phase lasted for 125 minutes and covered a distance of 398 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead 04FL Cross Creek Farms Airport in Ormond Beach, Florida. The descent from 7,414 feet above sea level to 2,824 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,590 feet, took 9 minutes and covered 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Sanford, Florida, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at KORL Orlando Executive Airport was made from the southwest, heading 33.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,030 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 at KORL Orlando Executive Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,360 feet, which was 34% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 72 knots, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -49 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 360°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,066 feet, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 465 nautical miles, taking 155 minutes, and the aircraft used 476 pounds of fuel.
The PA34T Seneca V aircraft successfully landed at KORL Orlando Executive Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 33.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,030 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 07.
The runway length at KORL Orlando Executive Airport is 5,992 feet, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 91 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance of 1,360 feet was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than ideal, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to slow the aircraft down more effectively during the approach. The touchdown rate of -49 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop smoothly and safely.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 360°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,066 feet was 34% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it came to a stop. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
