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 2,237 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.89 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to runway 27 at KTEX Telluride Regional Airport took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll commenced on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off from 60% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 1,217 meters, and liftoff speed was achieved at 98 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from 239°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and headwind.
Following departure, the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude, initially starting from a point 1 mile west of KTEX Telluride Regional Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 9,183 feet above sea level to 12,166 feet, an increase of 2,983 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. Subsequent level cruise phases took place at various points along the route, including a 25-minute cruise from 7 miles west of CO68 Frederick-Firestone F.S. #2 Heliport, covering 75 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 11,873 feet above sea level to 5,547 feet, a decrease of 6,326 feet in 8 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at KCNY Canyonlands Regional Airport was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 45.0° at 1 nautical mile and 531 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 03, which had a length of 2,152 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 98 knots, but the touchdown distance of 283 meters was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -54 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 118 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 50 minutes and a fuel consumption of 49 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 03 at KCNY Canyonlands Regional Airport from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 45.0° at 1 nm and 531 ft above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 98 kt, indicating a slight over-rotation.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 283 m, demonstrating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 88 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -54 fpm was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a 5 kt headwind, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,175 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was satisfactory. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 93.1% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
