Hold the approach angle
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,507 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 631 m past the threshold — beyond 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 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then departed from runway 22R at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport. The takeoff distance was 193 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 230°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport. The climb took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 74 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,168 feet above sea level to 17,741 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,573 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles northeast of Kodila, Estonia. This phase of the flight lasted 74 minutes and covered a distance of 244 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southwest of Sirvintos, Lithuania. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 17,653 feet above sea level to 2,982 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,671 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles east of Fabijoniskes, Lithuania. This phase of the flight lasted only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 19 at EYVI Vilnius International Airport, approaching from the north at a heading of 203.0° and at an altitude of 1,679 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 19, which had a length of 2,507 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 101 knots. The touchdown point was 197 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 81 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -281 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 0°. The crosswind and headwind were both negligible. The total landing distance was 966 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 21 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 353 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 148 minutes. The aircraft used 95 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EYVI Vilnius International Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,679 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 197 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 81 knots was slightly higher than ideal, contributing to a touchdown rate of -281 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair. The threshold speed, however, was excessively high at 101 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to slow down more effectively before touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of -2°C and no wind. The aircraft was able to land with a perfect runway touchdown alignment, and the rollout alignment was also spot on. The total landing distance of 966 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision. However, there is room for improvement in terms of slowing down before touchdown and achieving a more ideal touchdown speed.
