Track the centreline on final
See Arrival Final 1
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 approach before the go-around was abandoned. Its marks are shown, but only the approach that landed counts.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 49 kt with 8.8° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 496 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 2,858 ft of runway left; then climbing at 440 fpm on average to 496 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 5,502 ft runway.
Rolled from 1,971 ft in, never more than 4 ft off the centreline, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 36 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
3 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 45 kt. Touched down with the nose 5° into wind, wings level.
Wind 330° at 13 kt · 12 kt head · 3 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 50 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,793 ft in, 793 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 260 fpm at 49 ft to 50 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.1° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 86 ft left of the centreline, and steered back to 25 ft left by the end of the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 1,793 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.05 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Icon A5, then departed from runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport. The takeoff distance was a mere 35 feet, accounting for just 1% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 50 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 328°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Tega Cay, South Carolina. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,162 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 1,080 feet, resulting in an increase of 82 feet over a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute.
The final approach to landing was initiated 2 miles east of SC08 Bethel-Lake Wylie Airport York, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 513 feet above ground level to a final altitude of 1 nautical mile. However, a go-around was subsequently executed at an altitude of 413 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then approached the runway for a second time, descending from an altitude of 51 feet above ground level to a final touchdown at 0 feet above ground level. This descent took place over a distance of 24 seconds, resulting in a perfect touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute. The touchdown speed was 45 knots, and the touchdown point was 446 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 330°.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3 pounds of fuel during the flight.
