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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,520 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 211 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a SR22 aircraft, departing from runway 07 at 1A5 Macon County. The takeoff distance was 241 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 60 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled departure.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead 1A5 Macon County Franklin, located in North Carolina, United States. The climb began at an altitude of 2,425 feet above sea level and reached 3,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 579 feet in just 4 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at 1A5 Macon County was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading at 76.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile away from the runway and at an altitude of 957 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the touchdown speed being 69 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was 210 meters, and the touchdown rate was -135 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from 240 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 814 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length.
The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating an efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight was conducted smoothly and efficiently, with good weather conditions and a well-executed landing.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at Macon County Airport (1A5) on runway 07, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 76.0° at 1 nautical mile and 957 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, resulting in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 76 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 210 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 240°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 knots. The pilot effectively managed these conditions, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 814 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, resulting in a smooth and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase.
Overall, the SR22 aircraft's landing at Macon County Airport (1A5) was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 97.2% reflects the pilot's ability to execute a safe and controlled landing in a variety of conditions.
