Hold the approach angle
See Arrival Final 2
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 55 kt with 3.7° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to 147 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 3,436 ft of runway left; then climbing at 560 fpm on average to 147 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.
Plan view the roll down the 4,514 ft runway.
Rolled from 546 ft in, drifted left of the centreline, 16 ft at the widest, and lifted off 11 ft right. Airborne 13 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
three-point landing
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Poor landing flare
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 076° at 4 kt · 4 kt tail · 0 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 13 ft, 37 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 322 ft in, 678 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 820 fpm at 45 ft to 410 fpm at 10 ft, then back up to 570 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.5° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 41 ft left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 25 ft left at the widest.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 322 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.68 G arrival bounced 3 times.
The rest of the report
Departure from Almeirim Airport in Para, Brazil, began with a smooth roll down runway 06, where the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 55 kt in a distance of 786 ft, representing 17% of the available runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 79 °F and a gentle headwind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned to enroute level cruise, it briefly leveled off overhead the airport, covering a distance of 2 nm in 1 minute. The initial climb phase commenced 1 mile west of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 730 ft to 2,524 ft in 3 minutes, covering 4 nm. This was followed by a descent phase, where the aircraft descended from 2,460 ft to 459 ft in 3 minutes, covering 5 nm. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nm. However, the flight was not without its challenges, as the crew initiated a go-around at 661 ft agl, followed by two further go-arounds at 1,032 ft agl and 88 ft agl. Ultimately, the aircraft successfully landed 14 miles west of the airport, touching down at a speed of 40 kt and a touchdown rate of -611 fpm. The touchdown distance was 174 ft, and the landing rollout distance was 205 ft.
The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 79 °F and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt. The total flight distance was 19 nm, and the aircraft used 5 lbs of fuel. The flight duration was 16 minutes, during which the crew demonstrated their proficiency in navigating the aircraft through various phases of flight, including takeoff, climb, descent, and landing.
