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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,251 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 2,251 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 98 ft 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 31 at the NC14 Boone Inc Airport. The aircraft, a Baron, required a takeoff distance of 1,171 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 89 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 241°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the NC14 Boone Inc Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,511 feet above sea level to 4,977 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,467 feet in just 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 1 mile south of Blowing Rock, North Carolina, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a further 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at the NC14 Boone Inc Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 294.0° at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 75 knots, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance was good at 97 feet, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 74 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -183 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 47°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 251°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 982 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 19 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Baron aircraft successfully landed at NC14 Boone Inc Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 294.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 2,251 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 97 feet. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 47°F and winds of 7 knots at 251°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 982 feet, which is 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and controlled during the approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was properly controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 99.0% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
