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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight was operated by a Vision Jet aircraft, which departed from runway 10 at SPZO Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, Cusco, Peru. The takeoff distance was 958 meters, which represented 28% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 91 knots. The local weather conditions consisted of a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots blowing from 29 degrees.
The aircraft commenced its enroute climb approximately one mile south east of the airport, at an altitude of 11,618 feet above sea level. During the climb, the aircraft successfully increased its altitude by 9,744 feet to a height of 21,362 feet in just nine minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise at an altitude of 21,857 feet, starting six miles west of the town of Chinchaypujio. This phase of the flight lasted for seven minutes, during which time the aircraft covered a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent, beginning five miles south of Abancay, from an altitude of 21,857 feet to 16,302 feet in a period of five minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute cruise resumed once more five miles south of SPHY Andahuaylas Airport, lasting for three minutes, and covering a distance of four nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at SPHY Andahuaylas Airport, was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 27 degrees, and a distance of four nautical miles from the point of intercept. The approach led to a successful landing on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots, a touchdown rate of -20 feet per minute, and a touchdown position slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline.
Local weather conditions at the time of landing consisted of a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with winds of 14 knots blowing from 60 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The total landing distance measured 1,411 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft utilized an additional 26 minutes and 91 kilograms of fuel to complete a total distance of 92 nautical miles.
The Vision Jet successfully landed at SPHY Andahuaylas Airport on runway 03. The aircraft, while executing the final approach from the south west, maintained a heading of 27.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway with an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level.
The pilot executed the landing on the runway with a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of safe landing. However, the threshold speed of the aircraft was reported to be too high at 90 knots. This may be attributed to various factors such as improper throttle management or an inability to optimize airspeed for the given conditions.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft came down with a good speed of 68 knots. The descent rate was perfectly controlled at 20 feet per minute, which indicates a smooth and controlled touch down.
A slight misalignment of 6.9 meters from the runway centerline during touchdown may be a concern for the pilot, as it could potentially affect the aircraft's stability during landing. However, this seems to have been well managed during the rollout.
The landing occurred under local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and wind at 14 knots from 60 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were 7 and 12 knots, respectively, indicating relatively moderate wind conditions.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft traveled a total distance of 1,411 meters, which accounted for 57% of the available runway length of 2,494 meters. This indicates that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's braking and rollout to bring it to a safe stop.
The runway rollout alignment was reported to be very good, indicating that the pilot maintained the aircraft on a steady course following the touch down. Overall, the landing performance of the Vision Jet was satisfactory, with a high score of 94.7%.
