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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,642 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,642 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 763 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at UBZA Zabrat Airport, where the aircraft, a PA44 Seminole, took off with a takeoff distance of 259 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 100 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of UBZA Zabrat Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 805 feet above sea level (asl) in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb continued over various locations, including Balakhani and Nasosnaya Air Base, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of 3,917 feet asl and 5,185 feet asl, respectively. The enroute level cruise phases of the flight lasted for varying periods, with the longest one being 35 minutes over Shamakhi, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, UBBQ Gabala International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 34 from the south, heading 345.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,651 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 64 knots, which was within the target range, and a touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute, which was perfect. However, the touchdown point was 323 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 200 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,538 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centreline.
In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 109 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes, and using 104 kilograms of fuel. The flight was executed with a high degree of precision, with the exception of the slight misalignment of the touchdown point and the runway rollout alignment.
The PA44 Seminole aircraft successfully landed at UBBQ Gabala International Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.4%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,651 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 323 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed of 84 knots was well above the target. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance of 1,538 meters was 44% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, but there is room for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline and achieving a more precise touchdown.
