Hold the approach angle
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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,186 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,784 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport. The Cessna Longitude took off with a takeoff distance of 2,777 feet, which was 64% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 125 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,433 feet above sea level (asl) to 26,097 feet asl, an increase of 23,664 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The climb continued from 26,107 feet asl to 45,262 feet asl, an increase of 19,155 feet in 16 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period, lasting 2 minutes, before resuming its climb.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south west of Wertach, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted 11 minutes, covering 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 45,177 feet asl to 5,271 feet asl, a decrease of 39,906 feet in 23 minutes, covering 149 nautical miles. The descent continued from 4,826 feet asl to 2,445 feet asl, a decrease of 2,382 feet in 6 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at LZKZ Košice International Airport was made from the south, heading 358.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,686 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 387 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,551 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 44 feet from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 451 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used -3,648 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at LZKZ Košice International Airport, achieving a score of 89.6%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 358.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,686 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 120 knots was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 387 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 34 feet, which may have contributed to the slightly off-centre touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance of 4,551 feet was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre by 44 feet from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance of the Cessna Longitude was satisfactory, with a score of 89.6%.
