The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 4,494 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,494 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 223 ft 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 23 at CNZ3 Chatham-Kent, a small airfield in Ontario, Canada. The aircraft, a DC Designs F4J from VF-84, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 202 kt, covering a distance of 3,145 ft, which was 63% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 67 °F and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of CYCK Chatham Kent Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,742 ft above sea level to 5,824 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 7 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nm, starting 7 miles northeast of CRM5 Wheatly (Robinson Motorcycles) Airfield Coatsworth.
The enroute descent began overhead Chatham, Ontario, and was a more gradual process, with the aircraft descending from 6,223 ft asl to 1,225 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm. The final approach to runway 24 at CYCK Chatham Kent Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 227.0 ° at an altitude of 554 ft above ground level and a distance of 3 nm from the runway threshold.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 143 kt and a distance of 213 ft, which was well within the available runway length of 4,494 ft. The touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -583 fpm, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 67 °F and a wind blowing at 3 kt from a direction of 227 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a moderate headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,019 ft, which was 45% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 30 nm, and the flight duration was 9 minutes, during which the aircraft used -11 lbs of fuel. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with a good balance between climb, cruise, and descent phases.
The DC Designs F4J VF-84 aircraft successfully landed at CYCK Chatham Kent Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 227.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 554 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the aircraft to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 4,494 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touch down at the correct point on the runway. The threshold speed of 147 knots was also met, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance of 213 feet was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown speed of 143 knots was also within the acceptable range, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. However, the touchdown rate of -583 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach and touch down at the correct point on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 67°F and a wind of 3 knots at 227°, were favorable for the landing, with a minimal crosswind and a slight headwind.
The total landing distance of 2,019 feet was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, this landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and under control. The pilot's skill and control were evident throughout the approach and landing, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected standards for a high-performance aircraft like the DC Designs F4J VF-84.
