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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,436 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, departing from runway 23 at ETNS Schleswig Air Base. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Upon departure, the aircraft took off from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 539 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 84 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 105 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Klein Rheide, a location in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the ETNS Schleswig Air Base, it initiated a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading at 233.0 degrees at an altitude of 737 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 48 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 293 meters, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 41 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 105 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 38 minutes. The aircraft used approximately 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at ETNS Schleswig Air Base, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 233.0° at 2 nautical miles and 737 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to make a precise approach to the runway, ultimately resulting in a good touchdown.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 48 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth landing. The touchdown distance of 293 meters was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe and controlled stop.
The touchdown speed of 41 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. While the touchdown rate could be improved, it was still within a safe range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a consistent and controlled approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 105°. This minimal wind made it easier for the pilot to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,251 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was good, and the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft to a safe and controlled stop.
