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 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight involved a Honda HA420 aircraft, which began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport. The taxiing process took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 827 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 124 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGPE Inverness Airport. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 979 feet above sea level to 1,159 feet, an increase of 180 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb was smooth and efficient, with the aircraft maintaining a steady pace.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The approach was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at 18.0° at an altitude of 1,093 feet above ground level, and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the approach were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
The landing was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 83 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was -165 feet per minute, indicating a gentle and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control throughout the landing process.
The total landing distance was 1,049 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway's length. The aircraft used a total of 28 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and took approximately 4 minutes to complete. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and efficient operations, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 18.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,093 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was also good at 99 knots. The touchdown point was located 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 83 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing.
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 from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, which likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,049 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control, precision, and adherence to standard operating procedures.
