Get the gear down sooner
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,964 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing phase from the parking spot to the runway at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport. This phase took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the aircraft, an SR22, began its departure roll on runway 11.
The takeoff distance required was 365 meters, which is equivalent to 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 85 knots. Local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a light breeze of 1 knot from a direction of 270 °. There was effectively no crosswind, but a slightly tailwind component of 1 knot.
After liftoff, the aircraft started its enroute climb, beginning its ascent from 587 feet above sea level to 1,989 feet above sea level. This phase took just 1 minute and covered a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for a duration of 7 minutes while covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the enroute descent phase began overhead the SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark in Buenos Aires. The descent took 2 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile and a vertical distance of 1,169 feet. Following the descent, another level cruise phase ensued for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 2 nautical miles.
The final approach was made to runway 31 at SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark. This phase began at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold and at an altitude of 228 feet above ground level. The heading was set at 305.0 ° from the southeast. Local weather conditions at this time were very similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light breeze of 1 knot from a direction of 270 °.
The aircraft touched down on runway 31 with a good threshold height and speed of 79 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 326 meters. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute was deemed excellent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the runway centerline, the landing was otherwise satisfactory.
The landing of the SR22 aircraft at Jorge Newbery Airpark has been deemed successful, achieving an impressive 93.9% score. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the southeast, aligning the aircraft with a heading of 305.0° at 1 nautical mile and 228 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed safely on the runway, which spans 1,964 meters in length. The performance during this landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 79 knots. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was also deemed acceptable, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively.
Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot avoided overshooting the runway. The touchdown rate, measured at -82 feet per minute, was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, it is worth noting that the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from centerline, which may be addressed in future training to improve precision in landings.
Considering the local weather conditions at the time, the pilot had an advantage with a moderate temperature of 15°C and minimal wind, amounting to just 1 knot from the northwest direction. This resulted in virtually no crosswind or headwind impact on the landing, allowing the pilot to execute the maneuver with ease.
Overall, the landing performance of the SR22 aircraft at Jorge Newbery Airpark was satisfactory, with the pilot demonstrating control, precision, and adherence to standard operating procedures.
