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: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, off the runway's 3° glideslope and 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 1,564 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 370 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from ETSI Ingolstadt Manching Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, a journey that took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 24L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 60 knots within a short distance of 515 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile south east of Manching, Bavaria, Germany. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 2,194 feet above sea level to 3,307 feet, a vertical increase of 1,114 feet, within a duration of 3 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying overhead Karlskron, Bavaria, Germany.
Upon reaching the destination, Mengen-Hohentengen Airfield, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 25, descending from an altitude of 1,484 feet above ground level and flying a heading of 245.0° from the north east. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 53 knots, which was within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than desired at 73 knots. The total landing distance of 660 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway's length, was deemed satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a journey that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 101 nautical miles was achieved within a duration of 35 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 25 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDTM Mengen-Hohentengen Airfield was initiated from the north east, heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,484 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the recommended value at 73 knots, indicating a need for adjustment in the approach configuration.
The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 53 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 369 meters was good, and the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained a very good runway rollout alignment, demonstrating effective control during the deceleration phase.
The total landing distance of 660 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 88.5%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
