However, the capstone of all these efforts was the adoption of stabilized approach criteria and procedures on every approach and landing. GA pilots find time-tested and more creative ways to skitter off the side of the runway, land short of the threshold, or slide off the far end with the brakes smoking and tires squealing.

Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. You can only begin improving the touchdown if you’ve mastered positioning your aircraft above the runway threshold correctly. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.

If there is a crosswind at the airport, you should mention this in your brief. Discuss your nominated crosswind technique. Explain what aircraft input you will require to land the aircraft in the crosswind. For example, the crosswind is from left to right. You will either carry out the side-slip or de-crab technique.

If it prevents you from landing close to the threshold, a short runway becomes even shorter. This gives you a safe buffer on the stall speed and plenty of time to stabilize. The aiming point at an actual short field should be as close to the threshold as is safe. Will you need a crosswind correction? Full flaps, 1.3

Stabilized Approach Ideally, the goal should be to achieve a stabilized condition with a constant rate of descent. You should follow the “3:1 rule” – for every 3 nautical miles distance from the runway threshold, you must be a thousand feet above the ground.

A faster, reduced-flaps approach improves aircraft control during strong crosswinds or gusts. As with any landing, it’s vital to have a stabilized approach. If you’re not stabilized at 200 feet AGL, go around. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL.

Anyway, on our approach to Athens, we were greeted with a spectacular view of the landscape but there was quite a bit of crosswind which made the ride slightly uncomfortable but not long after we landed smoothly on runway 21L. Finally we reached the threshold and we were on our way. What's provided for each passenger ?
