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: 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 2,637 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 687 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Spanish Fork-Springville-Woodhouse Field Airport (KSPK) on runway 30, with a takeoff distance of 935 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600, NI22PC, lifted off at a speed of 101 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Palmyra, Utah, and reached an altitude of 8,509 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,845 feet from the initial altitude of 5,664 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 9 nautical miles and took 4 minutes to complete. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 48 minutes and covering a distance of 151 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile south of West Mountain, Utah. The descent phase started 3 miles northeast of Enoch, Utah, and the aircraft descended from 8,470 feet to 7,462 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,007 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at Cedar City Regional Airport (KCDC) was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 287.0 degrees, 1 nautical mile from the threshold, and 1,883 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 101 knots, and the touchdown point was 253 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 84 knots, and the touchdown rate was -33 feet per minute, indicating a perfect touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,198 meters, accounting for 45% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 186 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 74 kilograms.
The aircraft, NI22PC, initiated its final approach to runway 20 at KCDC Cedar City Regional Airport from the north east, aligning with the runway heading of 287.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,883 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 101 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing configuration.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 253 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a moderate deviation from the ideal touchdown location. The touchdown speed of 84 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -33 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centreline, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a 15-knot headwind, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,198 meters, which accounts for 45% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing performance of NI22PC scored 94.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
