Track the centreline
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 3.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 32° of bank, against a 10° limit.

Side view — the last 1,096 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,096 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 208 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching the runway, the departure roll commenced on runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 340 meters, accounting for 20% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 100 knots, taking advantage of the 16-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, starting overhead WS17 Pioneer Airport. The climb from 1,691 feet above sea level to 2,983 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,292 feet, was achieved in 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of WI46 Fun-Air Airport Van Dyne, and maintained this altitude for 2 minutes, covering an additional 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile west of North Fond du Lac, with the aircraft descending from 2,677 feet above sea level to 1,883 feet above sea level, a decrease of 794 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase started 2 miles southwest of Fond du Lac and lasted 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at KFLD Fond du Lac County Airport, heading 263.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 570 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 94 knots and a rate of -49 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 467 meters, accounting for 43% of the runway's length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, with a flight time of 10 minutes and a fuel consumption of 7 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 27 at KFLD Fond du Lac County Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The pilot maintained a good threshold speed of 103 kt, allowing for a controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown distance of 208 m was also within the desired range, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 94 kt, which was consistent with the desired touchdown speed. The touchdown rate of -49 fpm was perfect, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a headwind of 18 kt, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft through the conditions.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 467 m was 43% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 97.0% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
