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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,275 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 207 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Savage Norden, then departed from runway 33 at KJSY Joseph State Airport. The takeoff distance was 59 meters, which accounted for 4% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 41 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 272 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Joseph, Oregon, and ascended from an altitude of 4,518 feet above sea level to 9,223 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,704 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles east of Joseph, Oregon, and lasted for 13 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 119 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 8 miles east of KCHB Challis Airport in Challis, Idaho, and involved a descent from 9,771 feet above sea level to 5,976 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,795 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at 0ID2 Flying Joseph Ranch Airport was made from the southeast, heading 306.0 degrees at an altitude of 357 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 29, which had a length of 2,275 meters. The threshold height at 87 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was a little below the target at 34 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 193 meters, and the touchdown speed was 29 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -152 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 272 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total flight distance was 159 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 38 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, Savage Norden, successfully landed at the Flying Joseph Ranch Airport, navigating a final approach to runway 29 from the southeast. The aircraft was heading 306.0° at an altitude of 357 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a high degree of precision, with the runway touchdown alignment being very good.
The aircraft's approach speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 34 knots. However, this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 193 meters. The touchdown speed of 29 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target at 87 feet agl. This may have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach to ensure a safe and controlled landing. Despite this, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft in safely, with a touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute, which is considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 272°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 78.3%.
