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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: gear still up and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,784 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 244 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field in Bakersfield, California. The takeoff distance was 662 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 359 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of KBFL Meadows Field, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The flight then entered an enroute climb, starting 3 miles southeast of KMIT Shafter Airport - Minter Field Shafter. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,507 feet above sea level to 7,560 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,053 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Fuller Acres, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The flight then entered an enroute descent, starting 5 miles northeast of Lake Los Angeles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 7,417 feet above sea level to 3,832 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,584 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of 99CL El Mirage Field Adelanto Airport El Mirage, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The flight then entered an enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KVCV Southern California Logistics Airport Victorville. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 3,742 feet above sea level to 4,547 feet above sea level, an increase of 806 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of KVCV Southern California Logistics Airport Victorville, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The flight then entered an enroute descent, starting 3 miles north of Mountain View Acres. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,821 feet above sea level to 3,290 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,532 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at KVCV Southern California Logistics Airport was made from the southwest, heading 45.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 396 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 at KVCV Southern California Logistics Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 240 meters. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -220 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 360 degrees.
The total landing distance was 653 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 116 nautical miles, taking
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at Southern California Logistics Airport (KVCV) on runway 03, achieving a score of 89.4%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 45.0° at 1 nautical mile and 396 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 75 knots, registering at 66 knots. This indicates a controlled descent and a smooth landing. The touchdown distance of 240 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final approach.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight overcorrection or undercorrection of the aircraft's heading during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 360°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward. Overall, the pilot's performance was commendable, and the landing was executed safely and efficiently.
