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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,826 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 09 at KTNT Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport. The takeoff distance was 455 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 63 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then took off and began its enroute level cruise, which started overhead KTNT Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport in Miami, Florida. This phase of the flight lasted less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute climb phase of the flight began overhead KTNT Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport and involved climbing from an altitude of 383 feet above sea level to 4,754 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 4,371 feet was achieved in 8 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 13 miles west of Kendall West, Florida. This phase of the flight lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase of the flight began 9 miles northwest of FA35 Lindbergh's Landing Airport in Miami, Florida. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,052 feet above sea level to 1,821 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,232 feet, in 6 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09R at KTMB Miami Executive Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 86.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,796 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09R at KTMB Miami Executive Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 56 knots and a touchdown distance of 346 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -114 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 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 90 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 646 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight used 10 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at KTMB Miami Executive Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,796 feet above ground level (agl). This final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 09R, which has a length of 1,826 meters. The threshold height was well within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had a clear view of the runway and was able to maintain a safe altitude. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 67 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors affecting its performance.
The touchdown distance of 346 meters was within the expected range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 56 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively without compromising its stability. The touchdown rate of -114 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a consistent and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. This is particularly impressive given the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 646 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and experience. The Cessna Skyhawk was handled with precision and care, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown on runway 09R at KTMB Miami Executive Airport.
