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 1,193 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 235 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the M500 started with a 17-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 4 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 21 at CYXT Terrace, with a takeoff distance of 621 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 95 knots. The local weather at departure showed a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots coming from 180°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The enroute level cruise began overhead CYXT Terrace and lasted for 1 minute, covering 3 nm. The flight then proceeded towards its destination, landing on runway 18 at CZST Stewart. The runway length at Stewart was 1,193 meters, with a threshold height of 34 feet above ground level. The speed at threshold was 84 knots. The touchdown occurred 234 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 77 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -267 ft/min. The local weather at the destination indicated a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots coming from 233°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance at CZST Stewart was 517 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The total flight distance traveled was 113 nm, taking 46 minutes to complete. The flight used 115 kg of fuel during this journey.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 93.5% is quite impressive, indicating a high level of proficiency in most aspects of the landing process.
In the Approach Phase, the descent path being above the glideslope limit is an area for improvement. Maintaining a steady descent path within the glideslope limits is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. Additionally, the slightly below target speed should be addressed to ensure a more precise approach.
During the Landing Phase, the good threshold height and great landing flare are commendable. These aspects contribute to a precise and controlled touchdown, which is essential for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, the firm touchdown rate and slightly above target speed suggest room for improvement. A softer touchdown and closer adherence to target speed can help enhance the overall landing experience. However, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a positive sign, indicating a well-executed touchdown.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being slightly off from the centerline can be improved upon. Maintaining a straight rollout path is important for a safe and efficient landing.
In conclusion, while the landing score of 93.5% is a commendable achievement, there are specific areas such as descent path control, touchdown rate, speed management, and runway alignment that can be fine-tuned to further enhance the overall landing performance. With continued practice and attention to detail, the pilot can strive for even higher scores in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on refining your skills to achieve even better results in your future flights.
