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: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,382 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 635 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at KBYG Johnson County Airport. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 2,888 feet, which was 47% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 94 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 259°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of KBYG. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 5,656 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 29,468 feet, an increase of 23,812 feet over a period of 20 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 74 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 13 miles west of Belle Creek Airport in Montana and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 6 miles northwest of Tennant Ranch Airport in South Dakota. The descent took place from a maximum altitude of 29,487 feet to an altitude of 5,012 feet, a decrease of 24,476 feet over a period of 16 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 74 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started 6 miles southeast of Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport in North Dakota and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 331.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,759 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 6,382 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 77 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 633 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 73 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -446 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 153°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,386 feet, which was 22% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes.
The total flight distance was 225 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes. The aircraft used 409 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport (KDIK) on runway 32. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 331.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,759 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 76 kt, registering at 77 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 633 feet was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 73 kt was a little fast, but not excessively so. The touchdown rate of -446 fpm was hard, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed at the time of touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 6 kt from 153°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 6 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,386 feet was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centreline after touchdown. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KDIK was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
