Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,828 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 593 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport. The SR22 aircraft required a takeoff distance of 201 meters, which was 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 84 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 23 at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport. The entry was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a significant portion of the flight, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles and featuring an angle to the runway of 68.1 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 89 seconds to complete.
The base leg turn was another key component of the flight, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles and featuring an angle to the runway of 41.6 degrees. The base leg itself was 1 nautical mile long and took 72 seconds to complete. The final turn was a short but crucial part of the flight, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The final approach to runway 23 at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 212.0 degrees at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 1,344 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 58 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -153 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight took 7 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 75.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 212.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,344 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to runway 23 was executed with a good threshold speed of 81 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
However, the threshold height at 82 feet agl was significantly above the target, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 58 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The touchdown point was located 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviations in the aircraft's approach and landing.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the SR22 aircraft demonstrated good control and stability during the final approach and touchdown. With some adjustments to the approach path and alignment, the pilot can aim to improve the score and achieve a more precise landing.
