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: 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 1,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 100 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Jaguar A, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at YSCB Canberra International Airport. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 35, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 29% of the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 138 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 179°, resulting in a tailwind of 21 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of YSCB Canberra International Airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 2,894 feet above sea level to 3,860 feet above sea level, an increase of 966 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Gundaroo, where it descended from 3,897 feet above sea level to 2,672 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,225 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 3 miles south of Gunning, where it climbed from 2,671 feet above sea level to 3,918 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,247 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles southwest of Grabben Gullen, and maintained this altitude for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 15 miles west of Oberon, where it climbed from 3,560 feet above sea level to 4,179 feet above sea level, an increase of 619 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 8 miles southwest of O'Connell, where it descended from 4,161 feet above sea level to 2,666 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,495 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting overhead Raglan, where it climbed from 2,645 feet above sea level to 3,357 feet above sea level, an increase of 712 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at YBTH Bathurst Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 4.0° at an altitude of 932 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 35, which had a length of 1,713 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 191°, resulting in a tailwind of 12 knots.
The touchdown distance was good, with the aircraft coming to rest 101 meters down the runway. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -955 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters. The total landing distance was 710 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 125 nautical miles and took 25 minutes to complete, using 782 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, a Jaguar A 2/11 Vosges 11-MW, successfully landed at YBTH Bathurst Airport, achieving a score of 87.9%. The final approach to runway 35 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 4.0° at an altitude of 932 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 101 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was recorded at 123 knots, slightly above the threshold speed of 130 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, at -955 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively steep descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 6.2 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the approach or the wind conditions at the time of landing. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 191°.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 12 knots. These wind conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position. The total landing distance was 710 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a good approach and landing performance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score and demonstrating good handling and control during the approach and landing phases.
