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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,844 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 996 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KESC Delta County Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 27, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in 2,613 feet, utilizing 40% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 143 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from KESC, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, ascending from 1,242 feet above sea level to 15,010 feet, an increase of 13,768 feet in 6 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 8 miles northeast of 30WI Chambers Island Airport, lasting 14 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 11 miles southeast of WN03 Van Der Vaart Airport, with the aircraft descending from 14,995 feet to 1,919 feet, a decrease of 13,077 feet in 9 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 252.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,178 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25L was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at 108 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -337 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 993 feet, utilizing 33% of the runway's length. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 179 nautical miles, taking 35 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
The final approach to runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport from the east was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 252.0° at 4 nm and 1,178 ft above ground level. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. The threshold speed of 116 kt was also well-managed, indicating a high degree of control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a touchdown speed of 108 kt and a firm touchdown rate of -337 fpm. The touchdown distance of 993 ft was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The rollout phase was also executed with good control, with the aircraft maintaining a steady alignment with the runway centreline. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 ft from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation in the post-landing phase. Despite this, the total landing distance of 2,550 ft, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored 93.8%, reflecting a high degree of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
