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 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 24 at Lehigh Valley International Airport (KABE) in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The takeoff distance was 210 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 58 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -8°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 230°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KABE. The climb took 3 minutes to reach an altitude of 2,752 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,101 feet from the initial altitude of 652 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south of Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 2 miles south of Wyncote, Pennsylvania. The descent took 2 minutes to reduce the altitude from 2,274 feet to 1,333 feet, a decrease of 941 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Northeast Philadelphia Airport (KPNE) was made from the southwest, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,217 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 at KPNE was successful, with a touchdown speed of 53 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, and the tailwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 763 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 46 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 06 at KPNE Northeast Philadelphia Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,217 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 74 knots. The touchdown point was located 84 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 53 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 763 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. The minor deviations in threshold speed and rollout alignment do not significantly impact the overall score, and the pilot's performance is considered satisfactory.
