Track the centreline on final
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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,704 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,704 m of the 2,706 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then departed from runway 19 at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, with a takeoff distance of 371 meters, which was 19% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 73 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot. After departing from KJAC, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and climbing from 6,724 feet above sea level to 8,654 feet, an increase of 1,930 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south east of KJAC and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 6 miles south east of KJAC and climbing from 9,044 feet to 10,320 feet, an increase of 1,275 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of Jackson and lasted for 20 minutes, covering 58 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began an enroute descent, starting 10 miles north east of Georgetown and descending from 10,316 feet to 9,812 feet, a decrease of 504 feet in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise started 9 miles north east of Georgetown and lasted for 36 minutes, covering 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Honeyville and descending from 10,018 feet to 6,115 feet, a decrease of 3,903 feet in 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at KBMC Brigham City Regional Airport was made from the north, heading 192.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,812 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17 was successful, with a touchdown point 182 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -54 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 330°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,602 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 149 nautical miles, taking 75 minutes, and the aircraft used 39 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KBMC Brigham City Regional Airport, achieving a score of 89.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 192.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,812 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway 17, which has a length of 2,706 meters.
Upon touchdown, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was excessively high at 99 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. However, the touchdown point was 182 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to control the aircraft's descent more precisely.
The touchdown speed of 68 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,602 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown point accuracy.
