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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,165 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,165 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed on runway 20 at KFOO Yuma Auxiliary AAF #2, achieving an impressive score of 80.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at 1 nm and 256 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, with a speed of 65 kt, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 262 m was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control and avoided any excessive deceleration. However, the touchdown speed of 57 kt was slightly faster than expected, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout.
Despite the slightly high touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent at -88 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and wind speeds of 11 kt at 157°, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilot successfully managed the crosswind and headwind components, with a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 7 kt.
The total landing distance of 466 m, which accounts for 40% of the runway length, was satisfactory, and the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
