Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,613 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,613 m of the 1,981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 619 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 13 at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 397 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at 159 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport. The climb took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 2,665 feet above sea level to 38,379 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,714 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 6 miles north of NA83 F. Seckerson Airstrip. This cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles north of ND35 Lindemann Airport Lucca. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 38,402 feet above sea level to 3,191 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,210 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Jenkins. This cruise phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at KBRD Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 234.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the touchdown point being 188 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 97 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -100 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 160 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,517 meters, which accounted for 77% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 285 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used 792 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at KBRD Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 234.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 112 kt, registering at 113 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was located 188 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 97 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -100 fpm was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. However, the local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 4 kt at 160°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, and the headwind component was 1 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,517 meters was 77% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills.
