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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,859 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.96 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KPVU Provo-Utah Lake International Airport, the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600, NI22PC, began its journey with a taxiing period of 16 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 102 knots, taking advantage of a favorable headwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of KPVU, rising from an initial altitude of 5,644 feet above sea level to 8,506 feet, an increase of 2,862 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 6 miles west of Lake Shore, Utah, maintaining a steady altitude for 12 minutes while covering 41 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile west of Stockton, Utah, with the aircraft descending from 8,449 feet to 5,498 feet, a decrease of 2,951 feet in 6 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at KTVY Bolinder Field Tooele Valley Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 154.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,207 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with the touchdown point located 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 81 knots and a touchdown rate of 3 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 943 meters, utilizing 52% of the available runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 76 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 35 minutes and a fuel consumption of 34 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 17 at KTVY Bolinder Field Tooele Valley Airport from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft NI22PC maintaining a heading of 154.0° at 2 nm and 1,207 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 90 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down 65 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 81 kt, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were noteworthy, with a perfect touchdown rate of 3 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a headwind of 18 kt, presented a challenging environment, but the pilot successfully managed the aircraft to achieve a perfect touchdown.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the centreline. The total landing distance of 943 m, which accounted for 52% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience, with a score of 99.1% reflecting the high standard of performance.
