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.

Upon his return, he reported that both right-hand and left-hand rear stabilizers had sustained damage. NTSB Fitch continued to make small manipulations of the engine controls as the aircraft crossed the runway threshold, still maintaining a straight and level attitude but at a landing speed much higher than normal.

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.

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. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power.

Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. This allows you to configure appropriately and ensures a stabilized approach. Approach Speed When crossing the threshold, you must ensure you fly the correct approach speed. Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two.

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.
