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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,793 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 235 m 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 21 at SSKT Aeroclube de Santa Catarina Airport. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 387 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport.
As the aircraft climbed, it reached an altitude of 5,895 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,574 feet from the initial altitude of 321 feet. This climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead the SSKT Aeroclube de Santa Catarina Airport in São José, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 1 mile southwest of Biguacu, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 6,182 feet above sea level to 4,261 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,921 feet in 4 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and started 5 miles east of SJSH Fly Ville Airport Governador Celso Ramos, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 8 miles north of Lagoa, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
The final descent phase began 8 miles east of Lagoa, Santa Catarina, Brazil, and took the aircraft from 4,127 feet above sea level to 2,594 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,534 feet in 4 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 11 miles southeast of Lagoa, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
The final approach to runway 32 at SBFL Hercílio Luz International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 300.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,478 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 231 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 57 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -119 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 953 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline.
The total flight distance was 58 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 57 minutes. The aircraft used 22 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at SBFL Hercílio Luz International Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 300.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,478 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 32, which has a length of 1,793 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 63 knots. The touchdown distance of 231 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 57 knots was also good. The touchdown rate of -119 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and wind speeds of 11 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, and the tailwind component was 10 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at SBFL Hercílio Luz International Airport was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment during the rollout phase.
