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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.

The 75 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at N94 Carlisle, where the Cessna 152 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 303 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 28, it took less than 1 nautical mile to complete the turn in 17 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in 26 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 83.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 81 seconds to complete.
The base leg turn was made at an angle of 41.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself was 1 nautical mile long and took 61 seconds to complete. The final turn was made in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds, setting up the aircraft for a final approach to runway 28 from the east at a heading of 276.0 degrees and an altitude of 719 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 72 meters and a touchdown speed of 36 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -61 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 170 meters, accounting for 14% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at N94 Carlisle, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 276.0° at 1 nautical mile and 719 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 28, which has a length of 1,177 meters.
The pilot demonstrated good control during the approach, maintaining a safe threshold height. The threshold speed of 42 knots was well below the target, indicating a cautious approach to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 72 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 36 knots was within acceptable limits.
One notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 170 meters was only 14% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and technique throughout the approach and landing phases.
