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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,970 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 563 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the aircraft began its journey on runway 19R, taking off with a distance of 343 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 230°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 83 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 7,072 meters, it covered a distance of 41 nautical miles in 14 minutes, increasing its altitude by 6,550.3 meters. The enroute climb phase started 1 mile northwest of South Milwaukee, and the aircraft continued to ascend until it reached the desired altitude. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 7,057 meters to 5,600 meters in 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, eventually beginning its final descent to Central Wisconsin Airport (KCWA).
The aircraft entered the final approach phase, heading towards runway 35 at KCWA from the south. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 200°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 84 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -0.3 meters per second. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 157 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 195 kilograms and a flight duration of 53 minutes.
The final approach to runway 35 at KCWA Central Wisconsin Airport from the south was initiated at 4 nm and 380.9 meters above ground level, heading 349.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the desired value at 98 knots, indicating a need for adjustment in the flare phase.
The aircraft touched down 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 84 knots, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was excellent at -0.3 meters per second, demonstrating good control and precision. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind of 10 knots at 200°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,230 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centreline, which could be improved upon. Overall, the landing performance scored 86.7%, reflecting a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
