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 4,096 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,096 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,101 ft 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 09 at KBVY Beverly Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,324 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 57 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 205 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Wenham, Massachusetts, and ascended from an altitude of 731 feet above sea level to 1,388 feet, an increase of 657 feet, in just 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Wenham and lasted for 38 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 62 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01 at KORE Orange Municipal Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0 degrees at an altitude of 294 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,096 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 40 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -94 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 242 degrees, with no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,786 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 66 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used 44 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KORE Orange Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at 0 nm and 294 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth transition into the landing phase.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft was slightly above the target height of 56 ft agl, but this was not a significant deviation. However, the threshold speed of 51 kn was well below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling the aircraft. The pilot successfully managed this situation, ensuring a safe and controlled descent.
The touchdown distance of 1,096 ft was considered good, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 40 kn was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -94 fpm was excellent, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 0 kn at 242°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging.
The total landing distance of 1,786 ft was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control during the landing, achieving a high score of 92.7%. The successful landing was a testament to the pilot's experience and training, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
