Keep the wings level 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.
Side view — the last 1,086 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,086 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 228 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 35L at the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS). The takeoff distance was 290 meters, which is 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 77 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of -1°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Cimarron Hills, where the aircraft climbed from 7,244 feet above sea level to 7,633 feet in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, before starting another climb phase approximately 1 mile east of the CO54 G W Flanders Ranch Strip Falcon. This climb took the aircraft from 7,834 feet to 8,993 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and climb phases, with notable climbs from 7,526 feet to 14,692 feet in 10 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles, and from 14,184 feet to 2,181 feet in 12 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at the Marshfield Municipal Airport (KMFI) was made from the north-east, with a heading of 194.0° at 2 nautical miles and 910 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 72 knots and a touchdown rate of -49 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 500 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -1°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 340°, with a crosswind component of 10 knots and a tailwind component of 4 knots. The total flight distance was 755 nautical miles, taking approximately 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 197 kilograms of fuel.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KMFI Marshfield Municipal Airport, achieving a high score of 94.0%. The final approach was conducted from the northeast, heading 194.0° at 2 nautical miles and 910 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 23.
The runway at KMFI Marshfield Municipal Airport has a length of 1,086 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the SR22 to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 81 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the SR22 performed well, with a touchdown distance of 227 meters and a speed of 72 knots. The touchdown rate of -49 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, maintaining control and precision throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 500 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the SR22 aircraft performed exceptionally well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
