Settle the descent rate
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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,614 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 152 departed runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport, executing a departure roll of 590 m which represented 23 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 49 kt under calm conditions with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 11, covering less than 1 nm in 59 seconds.
A left-hand pattern crosswind leg followed, also less than 1 nm and completed in 22 seconds.
During the pattern downwind turn the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway of 48.5°.
The downwind leg extended 3 nm and was flown in 147 seconds.
The base turn was a 1 nm maneuver with an angle to the runway of 34.9°.
The base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 25 seconds.
A final turn of less than 1 nm was completed in 22 seconds.
On final approach to runway 11 from the west the aircraft maintained a heading of 99.0° at 0 nm and 447 ft AGL.
Landing was made on runway 11, whose length is 2,614 m; the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 51 kt. Touchdown occurred 345 m down the runway at 29 kt with a smooth descent rate of minus 104 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 6.2 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 496 m, representing 19 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
In total the flight covered 7 nm, required 7 units of time as recorded, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 152 entered the final approach to runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the west on a heading of 99.0° at 0 nm and 447 ft agl. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a crosswind component of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and the threshold speed was recorded at 51 kt, a little below the target value.
Touchdown occurred 345 m down the runway at a speed of 29 kt and a smooth vertical rate of minus 104 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 6.2 m, and the total landing distance measured 496 m, representing 19 % of the 2,614 m runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was very good throughout the deceleration phase.
Maintain the target threshold speed and refine centre-line alignment at touchdown to further improve performance.
