Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The approach before the go-around was abandoned. Its marks are shown, but only the approach that landed counts.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 135 kt with 4.6° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 898 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 933 ft of runway left; then climbing at 710 fpm on average to 898 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,891 ft runway.
Rolled from 152 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 6 ft at the widest, and lifted off 5 ft left. Airborne 56 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
High from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to 1.1 nm (up to 630 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 710 ft right of the centreline at 1.4 nm, then inside the band from 1.1 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 039° at 3 kt · 2 kt tail · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 113 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 29 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 3,930 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 12 ft, 38 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,237 ft in, 237 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 3,930 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 270 fpm at 10 ft to 50 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.9° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 3,930 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 8 ft of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 1,237 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Aermacchi MB-339NAT Al Fursan departed from runway 31 at CNV8 Edenvale with a takeoff distance of 2,049 ft, covering 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 135 kn. Local weather conditions at departure included a temperature of 62 °F, wind at 5 kn from 355 ° with a crosswind of 4 kn and a headwind of 3 kn.
During the enroute descent, the first descent started 3 miles southwest of Wasaga Beach, Ontario. The aircraft descended from 1,601 ft asl to 619 ft asl, a decrease of 982 ft in 1 minute covering 9 nm. The second descent started 6 miles northwest of Collingwood, Ontario. The descent was from 9,483 ft asl to 2,577 ft asl, a decrease of 6,906 ft in 2 minutes covering 14 nm.
The flight also included a go-around at runway 18 at CYOS Billy Bishop Reg'l at 39 ft agl. The landing took place on runway 18 at CYOS Billy Bishop Reg'l, with a runway length of 3,930 ft. The height at threshold was 13 ft agl. The touchdown occurred 1,242 ft from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 109 kn and a VSI of -54 ft/m. Local weather conditions at landing included a temperature of 63 °F, wind at 3 kn from 39 ° with a crosswind of 2 kn and a tailwind of 2 kn. The total landing distance was 2,174 ft, covering 55% of the runway.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 43 nm, taking 12 minutes and using 194 lbs of fuel.
