Hold the approach speed
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 1,193 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 224 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft Baron G58 started with a departure roll on runway 29 at L52 Oceano Co. The takeoff distance was 491 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 91 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 17°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 260°, resulting in minimal crosswind and headwind components.
The enroute climb began overhead L52 Oceano Co in California, climbing from 548 feet above sea level to 7,791 feet above sea level. This was an increase of 7,244 feet over the course of 8 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached the cruising altitude, it flew level for 9 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles before beginning the descent. The enroute descent commenced 13 miles south of KLOS Lost Hills Airport in Lost Hills, California. The descent was from 7,790 feet above sea level to 3,690 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,100 feet over 4 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The landing occurred on runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama, which had a runway length of 1,193 meters. The height at the threshold was 18 feet above ground level, and the speed at threshold was 65 knots. The touchdown point was 223 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 55 knots and a Vertical Speed Indicator reading of -140 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 19°C with a 2 knot wind coming from 151°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and a 2 knot headwind. The total landing distance was 371 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway.
Overall, the total flight distance was 53 nautical miles, with a flight time of 641 minutes. The aircraft used 21 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Congratulations on an excellent aircraft landing score of 91.6%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to understand what went right and areas for potential improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you showed excellent glideslope alignment, which indicates that you were able to maintain the correct descent path towards the runway. However, your speed was a little below target. While this may not have impacted the overall score significantly, it is important to aim for the desired approach speed to ensure a smooth landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated a good threshold height, meaning you approached the runway at the right altitude. Additionally, your landing flare was very good, indicating that you were able to smoothly transition the aircraft from descent to touchdown. These are both crucial elements of a successful landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was smooth, and your speed was on target. It's essential to control the descent rate and speed to ensure a safe and comfortable touchdown. Furthermore, landing within the touchdown zone and 5.3 meters from the runway's centerline is fantastic accuracy.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, you maintained runway alignment within 5.3 meters from the centerline. This indicates good control over the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring that you remained on the designated path while decelerating after touchdown.
Overall, your landing performance was commendable, with most phases of the landing executed well. Keep focusing on maintaining the correct approach speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment to continue improving your landings. Keep up the good work, and congratulations on a successful landing!
