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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 694 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.49 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 106 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a BE58, then departed from runway 18 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport (LFLB). The takeoff distance was 669 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Voglans in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb began at an altitude of 1,596 feet above sea level and reached 4,040 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,444 feet in just 4 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Francin and lasted for 5 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at Albertville General Pierre Delachenal Airfield (LFKA) was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 69.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,801 feet above ground level and was 2 nautical miles away from the runway. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius.
The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the touchdown point being very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -59 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 541 meters, accounting for 78% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 18 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a BE58, successfully landed at LFKA Albertville General Pierre Delachenal Airfield, scoring an impressive 85.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 69.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,801 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's decision to land on runway 05 was a good one, given its length of 694 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the pilot maintained a speed of 74 knots, which was well below the target speed. This was a prudent decision, as it helped to prevent stalling and ensured a safe touchdown. The touchdown point was, however, slightly long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down at a speed of 67 knots, which was still within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate of -59 feet per minute (fpm) was an excellent indicator of the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. However, the pilot's skills and experience likely compensated for any potential issues caused by the weather.
The total landing distance of 541 meters was 78% of the available runway, which was a relatively long distance. Nevertheless, the pilot's control and alignment during the rollout were very good, indicating a high level of skill and proficiency. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's score of 85.8% reflects their expertise and attention to detail.
