Settle the descent rate
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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,484 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 5.6° against the runway's 3° and centreline 14.7° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,711 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,711 m of the 2,438 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 859 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Fond du Lac County Airport (KFLD) commenced with a roll on runway 36, utilizing 75% of the available length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 105 kt. The aircraft's performance was influenced by the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a wind of 17 kt at 260°, resulting in a crosswind component of 16 kt and a tailwind component of 3 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, a climb from 1,774 ft asl to 4,364 ft asl was initiated 1 mile south of North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The climb rate was impressive, with an increase of 2,590 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nm. Conversely, the enroute descent from 4,485 ft asl to 911 ft asl, which began 1 mile north of North Fond du Lac, was completed in 3 minutes, covering 8 nm. The aircraft then proceeded to the final approach phase, aligning with runway 36 at Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH) from the south, at an altitude of 103 ft agl.
The landing on runway 36 at KOSH was executed with precision, with a touchdown point located 431 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 88 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -48 fpm was optimal. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the landing phase. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in under 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 13 nm, with a fuel consumption of 4 kg, and the entire flight was completed in 7 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, showcasing a well-executed approach. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 3.0° at 0 nm and 103 ft above ground level (agl), with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 116 kt, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown speed of 88 kt, and a perfect touchdown rate of -48 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and wind at 17 kt from 260°, resulted in a crosswind of 16 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained control and executed a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,619 m was 66% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. Overall, the landing was scored 94.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
