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 2,218 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 320 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 13 at KSUN Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey, Idaho. The takeoff distance was 679 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft successfully took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead the KSUN Friedman Memorial Airport.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 5,769 feet above sea level to 8,143 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,374 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 5 miles northeast of Bellevue, Idaho, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 8,683 feet above sea level to 9,642 feet above sea level, an increase of 959 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 3 miles northwest of the 10ID Flat Top Airstrip Muldoon, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at KDIJ Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport was made from the southwest, heading 51.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,645 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown distance being 318 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 48 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -47 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both zero knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 573 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 143 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 76 minutes. The aircraft used 33 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KDIJ Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 51.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,645 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good touchdown distance of 318 meters, which is a significant achievement considering the runway length of 2,218 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 48 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 330°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 573 meters, which accounts for 26% of the runway, is a testament to the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's speed and descent.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a remarkable achievement, showcasing the pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's capabilities.
