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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: off the centreline.
At the 152 m gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,369 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 342 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 13 at SABE Jorge Newbery Airpark, with a takeoff distance of 1,474 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north-west of Retiro, in the Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. The climb took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 305 meters above sea level to 9,754 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,449.5 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 120 nautical miles during this climb.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 15 miles north-east of RAU Rauch Rauch, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile east of SA6R Gonzalez Chaves, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The aircraft descended from 9,759 meters above sea level to 662 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,097.1 meters, in 19 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 103 nautical miles during this descent.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north-east of Punta Alta, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 1 mile north of SAPN Punta Alta Airport, in Punta Alta, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The aircraft descended from 558 meters above sea level to 187 meters above sea level, a decrease of 370.2 meters, in 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles during this descent.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 35R at SAZB Comandante Espora Airport, approaching from the south at a heading of 344.0 degrees. The aircraft was at 1 nautical mile from the runway and 112.6 meters above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,369 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was 345 meters, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 0.2 meters per second.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were 27 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,350 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 341 nautical miles, and the flight took 73 minutes. The aircraft used 3,267 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as A21N, successfully landed at SAZB Comandante Espora Airport, with a final approach from the south at a heading of 344.0° and an altitude of 112.6 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on runway 35R with a speed of 135 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed of 140 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a perfect rate of descent, with a rate of 0.2 meters per second. This indicates a smooth and controlled landing, with minimal impact on the aircraft's structure. The touchdown distance of 345 meters was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the aircraft touching down 3.4 meters off-center. This minor misalignment may be attributed to various factors, including wind conditions, aircraft alignment during the approach, or pilot error. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the pilot was able to quickly regain control and maintain a stable trajectory after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C. This suggests that the pilot did not have to contend with any adverse weather conditions that could have impacted the landing. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with a total landing distance of 1,350 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, minimizing the risk of any potential hazards or obstacles on the runway.
