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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at the Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 68 kt, covering a distance of 399 m, which was 12% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a slight tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,124 ft above sea level to 6,111 ft, an increase of 4,987 ft, in just 4 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nm. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes as it covered a further 2 nm.
The first descent phase began as the aircraft approached the El Rosario Airport, descending from 6,213 ft to 5,412 ft, a decrease of 801 ft, in 2 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off again, cruising at a steady altitude for 2 minutes as it covered a distance of 1 nm. A second climb phase followed, during which the aircraft ascended from 5,217 ft to 5,677 ft, an increase of 460 ft, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
The aircraft then began its second descent phase, descending from 5,679 ft to 5,014 ft, a decrease of 665 ft, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. A further level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 5 minutes as it covered a distance of less than 1 nm.
The final descent phase began as the aircraft approached the Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, descending from 5,217 ft to 2,791 ft, a decrease of 2,426 ft, in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. The aircraft then leveled off again, cruising at a steady altitude for 9 minutes as it covered a distance of 2 nm.
The final approach to runway 07 at the Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 65.0 ° at an altitude of 1,722 ft above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 kt and a distance of 397 m, which was 14% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was perfect at -43 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a slight tailwind. The total landing distance was 461 m, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 23 nm, and the flight duration was 33 minutes, during which the aircraft used 9 kg of fuel.
The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,722 feet above ground level (agl), showcasing precise navigation and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 60 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a safe and controlled descent, avoiding any potential issues with excessive speed.
The touchdown distance of 397 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was also satisfactory. The most impressive aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect -43 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any significant deceleration, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and minimizing the impact on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind was 3 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 461 meters was only 14% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft and bring it to a safe stop in a short distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and experience, and it highlights the importance of precise navigation, control, and decision-making in aviation.
