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 and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 329 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at CNV9 Québec / Neuville Airport, where the aircraft, an XCub, took off with a takeoff distance of 106 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 59 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 141 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Neuville, rising from an altitude of 1,252 feet above sea level to 1,480 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise 1 mile west of Neuville, lasting for 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft continued its climb, this time from 1,480 feet to 4,171 feet, an increase of 2,691 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise, this time 2 miles south of Cap-Sante, lasting for 9 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 11 miles southwest of Saint-Marc-des-Carrieres, descending from 3,969 feet to 1,426 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time 6 miles north of Becancour, lasting for 6 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at CYRQ Trois-Rivières Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 197.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,161 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 50 knots and a touchdown distance of 327 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -142 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 141 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 529 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 51 nautical miles, taking 30 minutes to complete and using 13 kilograms of fuel.
The XCub aircraft successfully landed at CYRQ Trois-Rivières Airport, achieving a high score of 94.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, aligning with a heading of 197.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,161 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,744 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 60 knots, coming in at 61 knots. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 327 meters. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -142 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 141°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 529 meters, which represents only 19% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and landed smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the XCub aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
