Track the centreline
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 9.1° off, against a 1° limit and wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,447 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,447 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 170 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 152 departed from Upolu Airport, taking off from runway 07 with a takeoff distance of 1,044 feet, representing 28% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 54 knots, with a local temperature of 60°F and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Hawi, rising from 1,003 feet above sea level to 4,918 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, with the first occurring 6 miles southeast of Hala'ula, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The subsequent climbs and level cruises took the aircraft over various points in Hawaii, including Waimea and Holualoa, before it began its descent 2 miles northeast of Holualoa. The descent from 7,369 feet to 4,098 feet in 9 minutes covered 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time lasting 16 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent 3 miles west of Naalehu. The aircraft landed on runway 22 at HI25 Kaalaiki Airstrip, with a touchdown distance of 164 feet and a speed of 47 knots, slightly above the target threshold speed.
The landing was characterized by a perfect runway touchdown alignment, with a touchdown rate of -70 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 890 feet, representing 61% of the runway. The aircraft's rollout alignment was also very good, and the total flight distance was 102 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes to complete. The flight used 35 pounds of fuel, indicating a relatively efficient performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
The Cessna 152 touched down on runway 22 at HI25 Kaalaiki Airstrip with a score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning with the heading of 224.0° at 0 nm and 79 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 51 kt, indicating a slightly aggressive approach.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 164 ft, but the touchdown speed of 47 kt was slightly faster than desired. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -70 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 890 ft was 61% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was characterized by good approach quality, precise touchdown, and a controlled rollout, resulting in a high score of 99.0%.
