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 6,792 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,135 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, CYWG. The aircraft, an SR22, accelerated down the runway, reaching a takeoff speed of 90 kt and lifting off the ground after covering 1,499 ft, which was 17% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61 °F and a gentle wind of 2 kt blowing from the west.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 1,452 ft above sea level to a cruising altitude of 2,259 ft, a vertical gain of 807 ft over a distance of 1 nm. This climb phase lasted for just 1 minute, after which the aircraft leveled off and entered a cruise phase. During this phase, the aircraft flew for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nm, and remained at a consistent altitude.
The final approach to Gimli Industrial Park Airport, CYGM, was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft heading towards runway 33. At a distance of 4 nm from the runway and an altitude of 1,636 ft above ground level, the aircraft began its descent. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61 °F and a moderate wind of 9 kt blowing from the north-west.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 70 kt and a touchdown distance of 1,130 ft, which was 53% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was perfect at -23 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out along the runway, maintaining perfect alignment.
The total landing distance was 3,618 ft, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, which had a total distance of 45 nm and lasted for 20 minutes. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft performing well in various phases of flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at CYGM Gimli Industrial Park Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 340.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,636 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed admirably, with a threshold speed of 83 knots being well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,130 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was within the recommended limits, and the touchdown rate of -23 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying a gentle and stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle wind of 9 knots at 11°. The crosswind component was minimal at 6 knots, while the headwind component was also 6 knots, resulting in a negligible effect on the landing. The runway length of 6,792 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 3,618 feet was 53% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the SR22 aircraft's capabilities.
