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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 191 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB), the Bonanza G36 began its takeoff roll on runway 18, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 75 kt in a distance of 560 m, which accounted for 46% of the available runway length. The aircraft then transitioned into a steady climb, reaching an altitude of 1,617 ft asl after ascending 668 ft in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nm. This initial climb phase was conducted overhead Florstadt, Hessen, Germany.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, first lasting 6 minutes and covering 15 nm, with the aircraft positioned 1 mile south east of Florstadt. A subsequent level cruise phase, lasting only 1 minute and covering 4 nm, was conducted 1 mile west of Offenbach, Hessen, Germany. The aircraft then began its descent towards Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), aligning itself with runway 25C from the east at a distance of 3 nm and an altitude of 1,390 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 80 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 197 m, which was 11% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 72 kt and the smooth touchdown rate of -136 fpm further indicated a well-executed landing.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 445 m. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.2 m, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre by 11.7 m. The local weather conditions at the time of landing, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 17 kt from 280 °, contributed to a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 15 kt. The total flight distance was 24 nm, and the aircraft used 7 kg of fuel during the 12-minute flight.
The Bonanza G36 touched down on runway 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from 1,390 feet above ground level (agl) at 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 258.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing the pilot to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface.
As the aircraft touched down, it achieved a threshold speed of 80 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 197 meters was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was within the desired parameters, and the touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a well-executed landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.2 meters, which may have been due to crosswind or pilot error.
Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, with a total landing distance of 445 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.7 meters, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 94.7%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19°C and wind speeds of 17 knots at 280°, may have contributed to the slight misalignment during rollout.
