Hold the approach speed
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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,876 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,667 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14 at UKKT Svyatoshyn Airport, where the L-39 Albatros aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,724 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 108 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 171 degrees.
As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 14, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 67 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 7 seconds. The pattern downwind turn covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 13.9 degrees. The downwind leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds.
The pattern base leg turn covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 168.9 degrees. The final approach to runway 32 was made from the south-east, with a heading of 293.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 888 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32 was successful, with a touchdown point located 487 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 88 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute was only fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 186 degrees.
The total landing distance was 3,176 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used 1 pound of fuel during the flight.
The L-39 Albatros aircraft successfully landed at UKKT Svyatoshyn Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.1%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 293.0° at 1 nautical mile and 888 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 5,876 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 104 knots. The touchdown point was 487 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates that the aircraft landed slightly short of the intended spot. However, the touchdown speed of 88 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 186°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which suggests that the aircraft was not significantly affected by wind during the landing.
The total landing distance was 3,176 feet, which is 54% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft landed relatively close to the beginning of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft's performance and handling were satisfactory, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated during the landing.
