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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,184 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,184 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 09 at 13WI Nowatzski Field. The takeoff distance was 326 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Markesan, Wisconsin. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,577 feet above sea level to 3,997 feet, an increase of 2,420 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, 3 miles south east of Markesan. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 2 miles south west of Alto, Wisconsin, ascending from 4,152 feet to 4,612 feet, an increase of 460 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, overhead Waupun, Wisconsin.
As the flight continued, the aircraft began its descent, starting 5 miles south east of Waupun. During this descent, the aircraft descended from 4,821 feet to 1,816 feet, a decrease of 3,005 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 6 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, 1 mile north west of Addison, Wisconsin.
The final approach to runway 06 at KETB West Bend Municipal Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 63.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,002 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 1,184 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 73 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 364 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 546 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 43 nautical miles, taking 26 minutes, and the aircraft used 21 kilograms of fuel.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KETB West Bend Municipal Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 63.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,002 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 06, which has a length of 1,184 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 73 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 364 meters, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing conditions favorable.
The total landing distance of 546 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control as it came to a stop after landing. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown.
