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: five 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.
Side view — the last 853 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 853 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 245 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Edgley Optica aircraft departed from runway 26 at ME2 Cutler Regional Airport, taking off with a distance of 127 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 57 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 255 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot.
After departing from ME2 Cutler Regional Airport, the aircraft entered a level cruise at an altitude of 1 mile southwest of the airport, lasting for 12 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This enroute phase of the flight was a brief but crucial part of the overall journey.
As the aircraft approached its destination, ME15 Cutler Regl, it began its final approach to runway 27 from the east, heading in a direction of 249.0 degrees at an altitude of 399 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 256 degrees.
The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 37 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 242 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good.
In conclusion, the Edgley Optica aircraft completed a successful flight, covering a total distance of 5 nautical miles and using 8 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled departure, a brief but efficient enroute phase, and a successful landing with a good touchdown speed and rate.
The Edgley Optica aircraft successfully landed at Cutler Regional Airport (ME15) on runway 27, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 249.0° at 1 nautical mile and 399 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a smooth touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm).
The threshold speed was maintained at a good 50 knots, and the touchdown distance of 242 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 37 knots was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. The landing was further enhanced by a good threshold height, which contributed to a smooth and stable touchdown.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 5.5 meters off-center. This minor misalignment did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot at 256°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 283 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the Edgley Optica aircraft performed well during the landing, with only minor deviations from optimal performance.
