Hold the glidepath
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 6.2° against the runway's 3° and speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 74 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,637 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,143 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft N28672 departed Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport (KBRD) on runway 23, utilizing 1,535 feet of the 6,300-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 74 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60°F and a wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
Following departure, the aircraft climbed to 5,506 feet above sea level (asl) over Brainerd, Minnesota, in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was characterized by a series of level cruises and descents, with the aircraft maintaining a cruise altitude of 5,506 feet for a significant portion of the flight. Notably, the aircraft descended from 5,499 feet asl to 3,924 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles, and then climbed from 4,079 feet asl to 5,506 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 41 knots and a distance of 1,120 feet.
The landing performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute and a runway touchdown position that was significantly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,483 feet, accounting for 44% of the 5,632-foot runway. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 305 nautical miles, with a flight time of 142 minutes and a fuel consumption of 47 pounds.
The aircraft, AA-5B (N28672), initiated its final approach to runway 27 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport from the east, aligning with the runway heading of 267.0° at 1 nautical mile and 640 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height significantly above the target at 85 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 59 knots, slightly below the target threshold speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 41 knots and a rate of descent of -190 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centreline by 77 feet, indicating a deviation from the intended path. The touchdown distance of 1,120 feet was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 knot at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout phase was marked by a continued misalignment from the centreline, with a deviation of 73 feet. The total landing distance of 2,483 feet, accounting for 44% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of AA-5B (N28672) scored 72.2%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional execution of the landing.
