Get the gear down before the gate
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,829 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 57 m short of the threshold. The 2.12 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 19 at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 19, the Challenger 350 accelerated over 1,095 m, representing 57 % of the runway, and lifted off at 126 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead KJAC, rising from 6,895 ft asl to 43,007 ft asl, an increase of 36,113 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 119 nm.
The first level cruise began 10 mi north-east of Ethete, Wyoming and continued for 119 minutes, during which 962 nm were flown.
A second climb started 3 mi east of 6IL5 Keil Airport, Dongola, Illinois, climbing from 43,008 ft asl to 45,013 ft asl, a gain of 2,005 ft in 3 minutes and covering 24 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment originated 2 mi north of Brookport, Illinois, lasting 22 minutes and spanning 166 nm.
Descent began 1 mi west of Hillsboro, Tennessee, descending from 45,048 ft asl to 5,220 ft asl, a loss of 39,828 ft in 22 minutes while covering 131 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 mi south of Atlanta, Georgia, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The next descent started 1 mi north-west of Conley, Georgia, dropping from 5,224 ft asl to 2,095 ft asl, a decrease of 3,129 ft in 4 minutes over 11 nm.
Final approach to runway 03R at KPDK DeKalb Peachtree Airport was executed from the south, heading 17.0°, at 2 nm and 1,090 ft agl. The aircraft descended from 1,495 ft agl to 203 ft agl in 74 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 03R was performed on a runway 1,829 m long; the threshold height at 95 ft agl was significantly above target and the threshold speed was well above target at 136 kt.
A second final approach to runway 03R descended from 1,526 ft agl to 158 ft agl in 82 seconds, also scoring on the stabilisation gates.
The subsequent landing on runway 03R recorded a good threshold height, a threshold speed slightly above target at 127 kt, a touchdown distance of 74 m, touchdown speed of 126 kt, and a heavy touchdown rate of minus 1,486 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 14.1 m from the centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and no head-wind. Total landing distance was 1,081 m, representing 59 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.8 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,475 nm, lasted 215 minutes, and consumed 2,813 kg of fuel.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 entered the final approach to runway 03R at KPDK from the south on a heading of 17.0° at 2 nm and 1,090 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable: the landing gear was not down, sink rate was too high, the aircraft was off the centreline and more than 20 kt above VREF. Descent was recorded from 1,495 ft agl to 203 ft agl in 74 seconds and from 1,526 ft agl to 158 ft agl in 82 seconds, with scores applied at the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was reported at 95 ft agl and described as significantly above target, later noted as good threshold height. Threshold speed was recorded as 136 kt, well above target, and also as 127 kt, slightly above target.
Touchdown occurred 74 m from the runway threshold with a speed of 126 kt, described as fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was very heavy at minus 1,486 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 14.1 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 1,081 m, representing 59 % of the 1,829 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned, deviating 19.8 m from the centreline while decelerating along the 1,829 m runway.
The 46.0 % score reflects the need to stabilise the approach by extending the gear, reducing speed to within VREF and controlling sink rate before the 1,000 ft gate, and to achieve a lighter touchdown with better centreline alignment.
