Track the centreline on final
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.

Plan view — the full 627 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 13 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 19 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 28 at KBID Block Island State Airport. The takeoff distance was 299 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead KBID Block Island State Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 870 feet above sea level to 2,472 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,602 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of KBID Block Island State Airport. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Montauk, New York. The descent was from an altitude of 2,415 feet above sea level to 781 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,634 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Amagansett, New York. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at KHTO Town of East Hampton Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 317.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 217 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 10 meters and a touchdown speed of 67 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -195 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 359 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 196 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 37 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KHTO Town of East Hampton Airport, achieving a score of 89.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 317.0° at 1 nautical mile and 217 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 627 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 68 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 10 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 67 knots. The touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 7.0 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 359°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 196 meters, which accounts for 31% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed the landing smoothly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision. However, the slight deviation in the runway touchdown position and the slightly below-target threshold speed are areas for improvement.
