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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate 1,636 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 10.7° against the runway's 3°, centreline 7.6° off, against a 1° limit, wings 25° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 61 kt FAST on the reference speed of 47 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,293 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,293 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 199 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Reichelsheim Airfield, EDFB, commenced with a roll on runway 18, where the aircraft, K21 D-1258, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 54 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 297 m, which accounted for 24% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 13 °C, with a wind of 8 kt at 257°, resulting in a crosswind component of 7 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 838 ft above sea level to 3,397 ft, a vertical gain of 2,559 ft, which was achieved in just 2 minutes and covered a horizontal distance of 3 nm. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 3,397 ft for 8 minutes while covering a distance of 9 nm. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, descending from 2,028 ft above ground level while maintaining a heading of 0.0° and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 36 was executed with a threshold speed that was above the target value at 48 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 197 m, which accounted for 20% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 36 kt and the touchdown rate of -196 fpm were both within acceptable limits. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 14 nm, and the aircraft consumed 0 kg of fuel during the 12-minute flight.
The aircraft, K21 D-1258, successfully completed a landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the south. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, registering 48 kt, which may indicate a slight delay in the flare.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good characteristics, with a speed of 36 kt and a rate of -196 fpm. The touchdown distance of 197 m was also within acceptable limits. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 3.2 m from the centreline, the overall touchdown characteristics were good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 259 °, contributed to a relatively stable approach.
The total landing distance of 250 m, accounting for 20% of the runway length, was reasonable. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 93.5%, reflecting a good performance with some minor areas for improvement.
