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 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 1,559 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,559 m of the 2,876 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 806 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Black Square Starship N45FL taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Miami International Airport, taking 14 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 1,538 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 13 knots at 260 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,051 feet above sea level to 36,039 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,987 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile north of Flagami, Florida, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 13 miles west of the Ocean Cay Heliport in the Bahamas, lasting 65 minutes and covering a distance of 320 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 36,250 feet above sea level to 29,840 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,411 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This descent started 48 miles east of the Duncan Town Airport in the Ragged Island District of the Bahamas. The aircraft then began another climb from 29,859 feet above sea level to 35,422 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,563 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. It then began another climb from 35,422 feet above sea level to 35,924 feet above sea level, an increase of 502 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, lasting 119 minutes and covering a distance of 570 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent from 35,791 feet above sea level to 2,587 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,204 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. This descent started 88 miles north of Sabana Westpunt in Curacao. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. It then began its final descent from 2,513 feet above sea level to 1,813 feet above sea level, a decrease of 700 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at Flamingo International Airport, heading 95.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,782 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 373 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 94 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -64 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,462 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,095 nautical miles, taking 255 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,025 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at TNCB Flamingo International Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 95.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,782 feet above ground level.
The pilot executed a good threshold height and speed, touching down at 107 knots. The touchdown point was 373 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by the same issue.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and centerline adherence during the rollout phase.
