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, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, 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 full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk departed OEMA Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport on runway 35, using a takeoff distance of 1,096 m which represented 25 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 69 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.
The initial climb began 1 nm north of the airport, where the aircraft rose from 2,597 ft asl to 3,262 ft asl, gaining 665 ft in 2 minutes while covering 2 nm.
A level cruise segment started 1 nm west of the airport and lasted 6 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 10 nm.
The second climb commenced 4 nm south of Medina, climbing from 4,165 ft asl to 6,198 ft asl. The altitude increase of 2,032 ft was achieved in 5 minutes over a distance of 9 nm.
Following that, a cruise phase began 13 nm south of Medina and continued for 25 minutes, covering 52 nm.
Descent started 49 nm north-east of Rabigh, with the aircraft descending from 6,205 ft asl to 4,316 ft asl, a loss of 1,889 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 5 nm.
During the final approach to the landing ground 46 nm north-east of Rabigh, the aircraft flew from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 1,813 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred at the same location with a speed of 60 kt, noted as slightly fast. The vertical speed was minus 103 fpm and the touchdown point was 411 m down the runway. Local weather at touchdown was 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, a cross-wind of 2 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
The rollout continued at an altitude of 2,434 ft asl and covered a distance of 274 m before the aircraft came to a stop.
In total the flight covered 83 nm, required 46 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 29 kg of fuel.
The final approach was flown over the landing ground 46 miles north-east of Rabigh (Mecca Region, Saudi Arabia) from 1 NM to 1 NM at 1 813 ft AGL, with ambient temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft descended from 46 ft AGL to 0 ft AGL, a loss of 46 ft achieved in 10 seconds.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 60 kt, noted as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 103 fpm and a good touchdown distance of 411 m.
The rollout was recorded at an altitude of 2 434 ft ASL and covered a distance of 274 m.
With a final score of 90.0 %, the primary area for refinement is the touchdown speed; reducing the approach speed to the published VREF will help align the aircraft more closely with the 300 m (1 000 ft) aim point and maintain the strong overall performance.
