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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline 2.0° off, against a 1° limit and speed 29 kt FAST on the reference speed of 94 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,660 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 697 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from OODI Dib Dibba Airport, the OV-10 Bronco began its journey with a smooth departure roll from runway 01. The aircraft accelerated down the 552-meter runway, covering 62% of its length, before lifting off at a speed of 103 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 269°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Dib Dibba, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 596 feet above sea level to 7,830 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching a maximum rate of climb of 7,234 feet in the allotted time. The enroute descent phase began 6 miles south-east of Qeshm, where the aircraft descended from 7,779 feet to 4,449 feet in 5 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, before beginning another climb phase 8 miles north of Bandar Abbas. The final descent phase began 14 miles north of Bandar Abbas, where the aircraft descended from 6,314 feet to 417 feet in 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
The OV-10 Bronco finally began its final approach to runway 21L at OIKB Bandar Abbas International Airport, descending from 389 feet above ground level to touch down on the runway. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 88 knots and a hard touchdown rate of -450 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 235 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,024 meters, covering 28% of the runway. After a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 85 nautical miles in 25 minutes, using 151 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 21L at OIKB Bandar Abbas International Airport from the north east was initiated at 1 nm and 389 ft above ground level, heading 207.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 88 ft agl, significantly above the target, and a threshold speed of 106 kt, well above the target. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a touchdown speed of 88 kt, which was good, but a hard touchdown rate of -450 fpm was recorded.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 235 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a runway touchdown position that was misaligned by 11.2 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 270°, contributed to a minimal crosswind and headwind effect. The total landing distance of 1,024 m was 28% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.1 m. Overall, the landing performance of the OV-10 Bronco scored 79.0%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional performance. The hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment during rollout were notable areas for improvement.
