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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,474 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 178 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Gabala International Airport (UBBQ) served as the departure point for the Honda HA420, which rolled out on runway 16 and required a takeoff distance of 1,410 m, representing 41 % of the available runway. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 121 kt under local conditions of 31 °C, with a wind of 11 kt from 179°, a crosswind component of 2 kt and a headwind of 10 kt. Immediately after departure, the aircraft entered a left‑hand pattern, completing the initial leg in less than 1 nm within 22 seconds, followed by a crosswind leg also less than 1 nm in 10 seconds. The downwind turn covered 2 nm with an angle to the runway of 86.9 °, and the downwind leg extended 3 nm, taking 56 seconds. The base leg turn spanned 3 nm with an angle to the runway of 6.9 °, after which the aircraft commenced its final approach from the north, maintaining a heading of 174.0 ° at 2 nm and 425 ft AGL.
The landing phase on runway 16 at UBBQ involved a threshold speed of 103 kt and a touchdown distance of 179 m. The touchdown speed was 98 kt, slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate was -232 fpm, considered fair. The touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline, yet the runway rollout alignment was described as very good. The total landing distance measured 1,069 m, accounting for 31 % of the runway length. Throughout the approach and landing, the aircraft maintained the same wind conditions as during takeoff: 11 kt from 179°, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 10 kt.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 13 nm, completing the mission in 5 minutes while consuming 26 kg of fuel. The sequence of takeoff, pattern entry, approach, and landing phases demonstrated consistent performance metrics within the operational parameters of the Honda HA420.
The final approach to runway 16 at UBBQ Gabala International Airport was executed from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 174.0° at 2 nm and 425 ft AGL. The approach quality was satisfactory, and the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 103 kt, which was within the acceptable range for the conditions. The touchdown occurred at a distance of 179 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 98 kt, slightly above the ideal target, and a touchdown rate of –232 fpm, indicating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft was misaligned by 7.8 m from the runway centreline, yet the rollout alignment remained very good. The total landing distance was 1,069 m, representing 31 % of the available runway length of 3,470 m. The local weather conditions included a temperature of 31 °C, a wind of 11 kt from 179°, a crosswind component of 2 kt, and a headwind of 10 kt, all of which were factored into the approach and landing execution.
Overall, the landing performance achieved a score of 96.0 %. The approach, touchdown, and rollout phases were integrated seamlessly, with the aircraft maintaining a stable flight path, achieving a controlled touchdown, and executing a smooth rollout while staying within the prescribed performance parameters.
