Get the gear down sooner
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 1,962 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 563 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 36 at CSR8 La Sarre Airport. The takeoff distance was 276 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -11°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 296°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead CSR8 La Sarre Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,058 feet above sea level to 3,610 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,553 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent, which took the aircraft from 3,665 feet above sea level to 2,978 feet above sea level, a decrease of 687 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began another descent, which took it from 3,138 feet above sea level to 1,359 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,778 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at CYGL La Grande Rivière Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 292.0° at an altitude of 235 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with the touchdown point being 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 71 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -71 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -20°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 250°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,042 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 290 nautical miles, taking a total of 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 98 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at CYGL La Grande Rivière Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.6%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the east, heading 292.0° at an altitude of 235 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 56 feet agl and a threshold speed of 86 knots, which was also slightly above the target.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 124 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -71 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -20°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,042 meters was 53% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a good touchdown speed and excellent touchdown rate. However, the slight misalignments of the touchdown position and runway rollout alignment may indicate areas for improvement in terms of pilot technique and aircraft handling.
