Get the gear down sooner
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,802 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 980 ft 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 area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FNX320_TCACFM, then departed from runway 08L at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 4,095 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 74°F and winds of 3 knots at 149°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Miami Springs, Florida, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,039 feet above sea level to 21,111 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,072 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south west of Villages of Oriole, Florida, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 21,114 feet above sea level to 19,202 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,913 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile east of X52 New Hibiscus Airpark Vero Beach, Florida.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Palm Bay, Florida, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Viera East, Florida, and the aircraft descended from 18,357 feet above sea level to 17,874 feet above sea level, a decrease of 483 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Cocoa, Florida, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead X21 Arthur Dunn Air Park Titusville, Florida, and the aircraft descended from 17,004 feet above sea level to 1,927 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,077 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles south west of De Leon Springs, Florida, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles north east of 85FA North Exuma Airport DeLand, Florida, and the aircraft descended from 1,935 feet above sea level to 1,343 feet above sea level, a decrease of 592 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB) was made from the south west, heading 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 07L, which had a length of 9,802 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 974 feet, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -331 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 63°F. The total flight distance was 229 nautical miles, and the flight took 66 minutes. The aircraft used 5,404 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FNX320_TCACFM, successfully landed on runway 07L at KDAB Daytona Beach International Airport with a score of 94.1%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft demonstrated a good approach to the runway, with a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 974 feet, which is within the acceptable range for a runway of this length. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach speed. The touchdown rate of -331 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft had a controlled and stable touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of a safe and successful landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F. This suggests that the pilot had a clear and stable visual reference, which is essential for a safe and successful landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
