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 2,454 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 31 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche began with a departure roll on runway 32 at KFRG Republic Airport. The takeoff distance was 338 meters, which constituted 18% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots coming from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The enroute climb started overhead East Farmingdale in New York, United States. The aircraft climbed from 239 feet above sea level to 1,988 feet above sea level, reaching an altitude increase of 1,749 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the flight entered a level cruise phase overhead Plainedge in New York. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 31R at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport, which has a runway length of 2,454 meters. The height at threshold was 4 feet above ground level, and the speed at threshold was 51 knots. The touchdown occurred 27 meters from the threshold at a speed of 49 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -170 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots from 260°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 89 meters, which was 4% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, with a flight time of 20 minutes. The aircraft used 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 87.8% is a good result, but there are some areas that need improvement.
During the Approach Phase, the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was below target. It is important to maintain a steady descent path and ensure that your speed is on target to avoid stalling. You should focus on adjusting your descent rate and speed to reach the desired approach parameters.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you had a good threshold height and a perfect landing flare. This indicates that you were able to position the aircraft correctly for landing and executed the flare well to ensure a smooth touchdown. Keep up the good work in these areas.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, and your speed was on target. Additionally, the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, which is an important factor for a safe landing. The runway touchdown position being 12.6 m from the centerline shows that there is room for improvement in terms of alignment. Focus on maintaining a steady approach to ensure a consistent landing position.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 14.7 m from the centerline. It is important to work on improving your alignment to ensure a straight rollout after landing. This will help with overall control and stability of the aircraft on the runway.
Overall, your landing score is a good start, but there are some specific areas that require attention. Keep practicing and focusing on the key areas mentioned to improve your overall landing performance. With dedication and attention to detail, you will be able to achieve even better scores in the future. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep up the good work!
