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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,444 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 551 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado CT210N, then departed from runway 24 at Bowman Field, KLOU, with a takeoff distance of 428 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 12,378 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,099 feet from the initial altitude of 1,279 feet, in just 10 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Kingsley, Kentucky, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles southwest of Shepherdsville, Kentucky, and lasted for 44 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 5 miles south of KXNX Music City Exec Gallatin, Tennessee, and descended from 12,374 feet to 2,591 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile southwest of 7TN3 Stones River Airport Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32 at KMQY Smyrna Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 316.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,493 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32 at KMQY Smyrna Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 68 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -42 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 883 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 147 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used 32 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Carenado CT210N, successfully landed at KMQY Smyrna Airport, navigating a final approach to runway 32 from the southeast. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,493 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway at a heading of 316.0°. The pilot executed a precise landing, touching down on the runway at a speed of 68 knots.
The touchdown point was located 132 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -42 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor issue with the pilot's alignment during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 883 meters, which accounts for 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled approach.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 90.3%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment during the landing phase.
