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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,907 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,387 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The flight in the Vision Jet began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, taking only 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 18 was successful, with a takeoff distance of 2,407 ft (61% of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 99 kn. The local weather at the time showed a temperature of 82 °F with a wind of 6 kn coming from 270 °, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and a headwind of 1 kn.
The enroute climb started over YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport and climbed from 2,201 ft to 30,074 ft in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nm. The level cruise phase commenced 11 miles north of YCNN Coonana Airport Stoneville and lasted 62 minutes, covering 382 nm. The descent phase began 16 miles southeast of YOOK Cook Airport Ceduna, descending from 29,747 ft to 2,373 ft in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nm.
