Track the centreline
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 3.2° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 1,218 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,218 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 316 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB) took approximately 40 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 07L, utilizing 617 meters or 21% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 86 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 269°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 5-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Daytona Beach, rising from an altitude of 1,126 feet above sea level to 9,946 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 8,819 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 16 minutes and covering 46 nautical miles, before beginning its descent approximately 2 miles northeast of Nocatee. The descent from 10,006 feet to 4,006 feet in 5 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles, was followed by a brief level cruise phase near Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport (KCRG), before the aircraft began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 4,005 feet to 1,462 feet in 4 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 14 at KCRG, aligning itself with the runway from the northwest at a heading of 136.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and at an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 75 knots, and a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was a little fast, while the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 224°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 598 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway's length. The aircraft used a total of 12 kilograms of fuel during the flight, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles in 51 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 14 at KCRG Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 136.0° from the north west at 4 nm and 1,421 ft above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown distance of 315 m was within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 67 kt, and the touchdown rate was fair at -234 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control and coordination from the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 224°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, and the headwind was negligible at 0 kt.
The total landing distance of 598 m was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and precision from the pilot.
