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 1,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 302 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A started with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at EGAC Belfast City, which took just 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 22 was efficient, with a takeoff distance of 694 m (40% of the runway) achieved at a liftoff speed of 118 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was favorable, with a temperature of 12 °C, a 5 kn wind coming from 199 °, and a slight crosswind of 1 kn with a headwind of 4 kn.
The enroute climb began over Belfast and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,046 ft asl to 23,836 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nm. The subsequent level cruise phase commenced 5 miles southeast of Ardglass and lasted 27 minutes, covering 142 nm. The descent portion of the flight began 1 mile south of Stone, leading the aircraft from 24,070 ft asl to 20,033 ft asl in 4 minutes and 22 nm.
Another short level cruise segment began over Sutton Coldfield and concluded in 4 minutes, covering 23 nm. The final descent phase took place over Harbury, as the plane descended from 19,358 ft asl to 2,094 ft asl over 15 minutes, covering 61 nm. The landing at EGWU Northolt AB on runway 25 was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 88 kn, a VSI of -256 ft/m, and a total landing distance of 443 m (28% of the runway).
After the landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance traveled was 285 nm over a duration of 72 minutes, consuming 409 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A was efficient and successful, with all phases of the journey executed smoothly and safely.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 99.3%! This is a testament to your exceptional skill and precision in executing each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, ensuring a smooth descent towards the runway. This precision is crucial in setting up for a successful landing and indicates your strong understanding of aircraft control dynamics.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your performance was commendable with good threshold height awareness and an excellent landing flare. Maintaining proper altitude above the runway threshold and executing a flawless landing flare are key elements in achieving a smooth and controlled touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your firm touchdown rate paired with on-target speed showcases your proficiency in managing the aircraft's descent and control inputs. Additionally, bringing the aircraft to rest inside the touchdown zone with a runway touchdown position just 2.8 meters from the centerline reflects your ability to maintain precision throughout the landing process.
As you transitioned into the Rollout Phase, your attention to detail was evident with very good runway alignment. This ensures a straight and stable rollout after touchdown, enhancing safety and efficiency during the landing rollout process.
Overall, your exemplary performance in each phase of the landing process contributed to your outstanding score. Your dedication to precision and attention to detail are truly commendable. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in your aviation endeavors.
