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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,458 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 847 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Edgley Optica, then departed from runway 19 at Teterboro Airport (KTEB). The takeoff distance was 842 feet, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 57 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 198 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Moonachie, New Jersey. The climb was from an altitude of 800 feet above sea level to 809 feet, an increase of 10 feet, in less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at KTEB was made from the north, with a heading of 141.0 degrees at an altitude of 991 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 47 knots. The touchdown distance was 836 feet, and the touchdown speed was 37 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 199 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 952 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 16 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Edgley Optica successfully landed at KTEB Teterboro Airport, achieving a high score of 94.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 141.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 991 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 47 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 836 feet. The touchdown speed of 37 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was flawless, indicating a high degree of precision and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 199°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 952 feet was a mere 17% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's excellent braking performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing process. Overall, the Edgley Optica's landing at KTEB Teterboro Airport was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill.
