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: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 287 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 approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport in Gabala, Azerbaijan. The takeoff distance was 628 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Gabala, it reached an altitude of 16,106 feet above sea level, increasing from an initial altitude of 2,136 feet. This climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 22 minutes and covered 81 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 6 miles northwest of Gabala.
The enroute descent phase began 10 miles south of Ts'nori in Kakheti, Georgia, where the aircraft descended from 16,095 feet to 5,501 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. This phase started 11 miles east of Gardabani in Kvemo Kartli, Georgia.
The final descent phase began 6 miles northeast of Gardabani, where the aircraft descended from 4,975 feet to 4,006 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. This phase started 4 miles north of Gardabani.
The final approach to runway 31L at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 317.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,178 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 286 meters and a touchdown speed of 74 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -63 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 262 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 813 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 138 nautical miles, which was covered in 57 minutes. The aircraft used 199 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport (UGTB) with a high score of 98.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,178 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 82 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good performance, with a touchdown distance of 286 meters and a touchdown speed of 74 knots. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with an excellent rate of -63 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.1 meters off-centerline.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 262°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The total landing distance was 813 meters, which accounted for only 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase.
Overall, the PC-12 aircraft performed exceptionally well during the landing, with a high score and a smooth touchdown. The favorable weather conditions and the pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft contributed to the successful landing on runway 31L at Tbilisi International Airport.
