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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 423 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Lynchburg Regional Airport - Preston Glenn Field, the PC-24 VIP aircraft began its journey with a smooth taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 22, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 145 kt, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,156 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 °C, a wind speed of 3 kt from 200°, resulting in a 3 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Lynchburg, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 39,993 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles, before the aircraft initiated another climb phase, this time from 40,451 ft asl to 40,971 ft asl, an increase of 520 ft in 2 minutes. The final level cruise phase lasted 5 minutes and covered an impressive 1,693 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent towards General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport, executing a final approach to runway 02 from the south, with a heading of 14.0° at 2 nautical miles and 895 ft agl.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on runway 02 at a speed of 119 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 415 meters, which was well within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 935 meters, accounting for 33% of the runway length. Following a smooth taxiing process from the runway to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, covering a total distance of 1,831 nautical miles in 37 minutes, consuming 2,121 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 02 at SVBC General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 14.0° at 2 nm and 895 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 127 kt, which may have been due to the favorable wind conditions, with a 1 kt tailwind at 233°.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 415 m, and the touchdown speed of 119 kt was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -250 fpm was slightly below the optimal rate, indicating a slightly longer deceleration phase. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 233°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 935 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 95.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal performance, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities ensured a safe and controlled landing.
