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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,726 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 223 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield, the Bonanza G36 began its journey with a smooth departure roll from runway 06. The aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 80 kt, clearing the runway threshold in 447 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from Hamm, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,511 ft asl after a 1-minute climb from 1,157 ft asl. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a 11-minute cruise phase, covering 26 nm at a steady pace. The crew made use of the favorable winds to their advantage, taking advantage of a 2 kt headwind to reduce fuel consumption. The aircraft then began its descent, losing 544 ft in 2 minutes as it approached Greven. A brief climb phase followed, as the aircraft ascended to 1,620 ft asl in 2 minutes, before entering a short cruise phase.
The final approach to runway 01 at Hopsten Air Base was executed from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 13.0° at 4 nm and 1,405 ft agl. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 65 kt and a touchdown rate of -77 fpm. The total landing distance was 530 m, accounting for 22% of the runway's length. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total flight distance of 45 nm and a fuel consumption of 14 kg. The crew's skillful handling of the aircraft ensured a safe and efficient flight.
The Bonanza G36 touched down on runway 01 at ETNP Hopsten Air Base with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from 1,405 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, aligning with the runway heading of 13.0 degrees. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good speed control, touching down at 65 knots. The touchdown distance of 222 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.5 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 8 knots, contributed to a relatively stable and predictable landing environment.
The Bonanza G36 continued to roll out along the runway, with a total landing distance of 530 meters, representing 22% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.3 meters, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, earning a score of 94.0%. The pilot's ability to maintain control and precision throughout the landing phase was evident, despite the minor deviations in alignment.
