See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: glideslope 4.2° against the runway's 3°, centreline 2.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,339 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and centreline 1.5° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,733 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 594 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Piarco International Airport, the ATR 72 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. With a takeoff roll on runway 10, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 122 knots, utilizing 33% of the available runway length of 1,064 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 120 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Piarco International Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,015 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 11,342 feet, an increase of 10,327 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft commenced its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 11,357 feet to 1,869 feet in 7 minutes, while covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10 at Maurice Bishop International Airport was initiated from a heading of 93.0 degrees, 2 nautical miles from the threshold, at an altitude of 863 feet above ground level.
The ATR 72 landed on runway 10 at Maurice Bishop International Airport, utilizing 49% of the available runway length of 2,733 meters. The touchdown point was 170 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 109 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a taxiing period of 5 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 99 nautical miles, utilizing 437 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 32 minutes to complete the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 10 at TGPY Maurice Bishop International Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the west. The final approach was conducted at a heading of 93.0°, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 863 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved.
As the aircraft touched down, it was traveling at a speed of 109 knots, which was slightly above the target touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 170 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was a minor deviation from the ideal touchdown position. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centerline.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its rollout, covering a total distance of 1,333 meters, which represented 49% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, the overall performance was satisfactory. The landing was scored at 94.8%, reflecting a minor deviation from the ideal touchdown position and a slightly fast touchdown speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a headwind of 14 knots, contributed to a challenging landing environment.
