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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, glideslope 5.1° against the runway's 3°, centreline 5.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 38 kt FAST on the reference speed of 56 kt.

Side view — the last 3,294 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,294 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 682 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Henry's Lake Airport, the XCub aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 24, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 59 kt. The aircraft lifted off the ground after covering 1,474 ft, or 32% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60 °F and a gentle headwind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 8,192 ft asl, an increase of 1,188 ft in just 3 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 8,192 ft asl for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm. The flight then entered a series of enroute descents and climbs, with the aircraft descending from 8,122 ft asl to 7,667 ft asl in 2 minutes, and then climbing from 7,682 ft asl to 8,235 ft asl in 2 minutes. The final enroute level cruise phase lasted 17 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 30 nm.
As the XCub aircraft approached its destination, 29S Gardiner, it began its final approach to runway 28 from the south east. The aircraft touched down on the runway after covering a distance of 676 ft, with a touchdown speed of 46 kt. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 fpm, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,251 ft, or 38% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 60 nm and using 31 lbs of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 28 at 29S Gardiner with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 1 nm and an altitude of 476 ft agl, heading 299.0° from the south east. The threshold height was well managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. The threshold speed of 58 kt was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown distance of 676 ft, and a touchdown speed of 46 kt, both of which were within the desired parameters. However, the touchdown rate of -218 fpm was slightly higher than ideal, suggesting a slightly steeper descent than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft remained centered on the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60°F and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,251 ft, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 92.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
