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.
Side view — the last 1,177 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,177 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 119 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 Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 228 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 28 at N94 Carlisle, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed in 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 77.1 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 59 seconds.
The pattern base leg turn was also executed in 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 42.3 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 29 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a final approach to runway 28 at N94 Carlisle from the east, at a heading of 272.0 degrees and an altitude of 608 feet above ground level.
The landing itself was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 52 knots and a touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 117 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained the same as at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, which was completed in 4 minutes, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with good control and adherence to standard procedures.
The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at N94 Carlisle, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft's final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 608 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 60 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 117 meters was within acceptable limits, further indicating a well-executed landing.
The touchdown speed of 52 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed throughout the landing process. The touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustment in the pilot's landing 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, at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, which may have contributed to the smooth touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and technique throughout the process.
