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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,978 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,165 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Weyburn Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 06 at CJE3 Weyburn Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,543 feet, which was 85% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 2,749 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 30,369 feet, an increase of 27,620 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles. The climb began 1 mile northeast of Weyburn Airport.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 12 miles west of Disley, Saskatchewan, and lasting 47 minutes, covering a distance of 247 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and speed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 15 miles south of Hanna, Alberta, and descending from 30,199 feet to 5,241 feet, a decrease of 24,958 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Calgary International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 300.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,687 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,160 feet, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 75 knots, which was a little fast.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 14 knots at 310 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The threshold speed was well above the target at 79 knots, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 419 nautical miles, and the flight used 694 pounds of fuel. The total landing distance was 2,645 feet, which was 33% of the runway length.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at Calgary International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 300.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,687 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 29, which has a length of 7,978 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was above the target speed of 79 kt. The touchdown distance of 1,160 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 75 kt was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -356 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively so. This suggests that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing, avoiding any potential loss of lift or excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 14 kt from 310°. This resulted in a 2 kt crosswind and a 14 kt headwind, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 2,645 feet was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at Calgary International Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout.
