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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,597 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 285 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 20 at LGKC Kithira Airport, a small airport located on the Greek island of Kithira. The takeoff distance was 575 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 65 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 32 knots from a direction of 285 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 32 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 11,390 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,636 feet from the initial altitude of 1,754 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 11,505 feet to 14,271 feet, an increase of 2,766 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting from an altitude of 15,000 feet above sea level and descending to 2,297 feet in just 11 minutes and covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at LGTT Tatoi Airport was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading 35.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,494 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 74 knots and a distance of 285 meters. The touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 286 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 917 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 122 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes, with the aircraft using 98 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at LGTT Tatoi Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, heading 35.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,494 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 03, which has a length of 1,597 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 84 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as air density, aircraft weight, or pilot technique.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 285 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 74 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -88 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 286°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling during the landing.
The total landing distance was 917 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, such as the slightly below-target threshold speed and the slight misalignment of the runway rollout.
