Settle the descent rate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,712 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,712 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 793 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Skyward C680 taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at EGAA Belfast International Airport in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 983 m, representing 36 % of the runway, and lifted off at 130 kt; ambient conditions were 14 °C with a 5-kt wind from 240°, no crosswind and a 5-kt headwind.
The initial climb commenced overhead EGAA, climbing from 617 ft asl to 41 462 ft asl-a gain of 40 844 ft-in 32 minutes while traversing 87 nm.
A level cruise began 1 mile north-west of Grange, lasting 7 minutes and covering 21 nm.
Descent started 4 miles north-east of Killala, descending from 42 987 ft asl to 34 951 ft asl, a loss of 8 036 ft in 3 minutes over 15 nm.
The next cruise segment originated 6 miles west of EICR Crossmolina Airstrip, lasting 10 minutes and encompassing 71 nm.
A subsequent climb began 42 miles west of EIIB Clifden Airport, rising from 34 935 ft asl to 39 048 ft asl, an increase of 4 113 ft in 3 minutes while covering 19 nm.
Descent followed 61 miles west of EIIB Clifden Airport, dropping from 39 051 ft asl to 38 065 ft asl, a decrease of 986 ft in 2 minutes across 9 nm.
A prolonged cruise started 71 miles west of EIIB Clifden Airport, lasting 298 minutes and spanning 2 088 nm.
The final descent commenced 17 miles north of CYYG Charlottetown Airport, descending from 38 051 ft asl to 1 841 ft asl, a loss of 36 210 ft in 10 minutes while covering 63 nm.
On final approach to runway 03 at CYYG Charlottetown Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 21.0° at 2 nm and 1 529 ft agl, then descended from 1 684 ft agl to minus 270 ft agl in 36 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 03 was performed with a runway length of 2 142 m; the threshold speed was 143 kt, the touchdown point lay 373 m beyond the touchdown zone, touchdown speed was 119 kt, and touchdown rate was smooth at minus 101 fpm with perfect alignment. Local weather reported 15 °C, a 2-kt wind from 282°, a 2-kt crosswind and no headwind. Total landing distance measured 1 628 m, representing 76 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good, confirming a controlled deceleration after touchdown.
In total, the flight covered 2 382 nm, took 373 minutes, and consumed 5 082 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 03 at CYYG Charlottetown Airport was conducted from the south on a heading of 21.0° at 2 NM and 1,529 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, with sink rate too high, off the glideslope and more than 20 kt above VREF; the descent from 1,684 ft agl to -270 ft agl was completed in 36 seconds and the stabilisation gates were scored.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was recorded at 143 kt, described as well above the target, and the threshold height was noted as good.
Touchdown occurred 373 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 119 kt, described as a little fast, while the vertical rate was smooth at minus 101 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,628 m, representing 76 % of the 2,142 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the approach speed to meet the target and maintain a stabilised descent to stay on the glideslope, which will also help keep touchdown speed within limits. Aim for the standard aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) in to avoid excessive touchdown distance beyond the zone.
