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 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 332 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 16 at UBZA Zabrat Airport. The takeoff distance was 422 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 339 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 7 knots. The aircraft took off and began its enroute level cruise, which started overhead UBZA Zabrat Airport and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Saray, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 647 feet above sea level to 2,408 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,761 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 4 miles southwest of Ceyranbatan and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started again 7 miles southwest of UB12 Nasosnaya Air Base, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,402 feet above sea level to 7,713 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,311 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 14 miles southwest of Haci Zeynalabdin and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 8 miles east of Goycay, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 7,674 feet above sea level to 3,445 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,229 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was made from the south, heading 2.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 2,300 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 330 meters and a touchdown speed of 70 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 70 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total flight distance was 107 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 35 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at UBBQ Gabala International Airport, achieving an impressive score of 88.8%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 2,300 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision, touching down on the runway at a speed of 83 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 330 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was within the desired range, signifying a gentle and stable landing.
One notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm), which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 6.5 meters off-center. This minor misalignment may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not pose a significant challenge to the landing. Overall, the SR22 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control during the landing, with the pilot executing a smooth and precise touchdown on the runway.
