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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 274 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Bonanza G36 aircraft departed from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, covering a takeoff distance of 427 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 knots, and the aircraft took off into a local weather condition of 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 108 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Florstadt, Hessen, Germany, at an altitude of 807 feet above sea level. The climb was steep, with an increase of 4,003 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles, 2 miles east of Nidda, Hessen, Germany.
The enroute descent started overhead Hirzenhain, Hessen, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 4,831 feet above sea level to 781 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,050 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was made from the north, heading 178.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 375 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 274 meters, which was good, considering the runway length of 1,230 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 74 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -197 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 108 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 433 meters, which was again 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 63 nautical miles, taking 26 minutes, and the aircraft used 18 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Bonanza G36, successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 97.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 178.0° at 1 nautical mile and 375 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft onto runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at a suitable distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, coming in at 86 knots. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe touchdown over achieving the optimal speed.
The touchdown distance of 274 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind of 5 knots at 108°, were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 433 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was excellent, with a score of 97.1% indicating a high level of proficiency. However, there were a few areas for improvement, including the slightly fast touchdown speed and the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
