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.

Side view — the last 1,014 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,014 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 64 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 36 at LGNX Naxos Island National Airport. The takeoff distance was 320 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from 339 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Naxos in the South Aegean region of Greece. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,016 feet above sea level to 3,122 feet, an increase of 2,106 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile northwest of Naxos. The final approach to runway 36 at LGSO Syros Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 13.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,531 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 36 at LGSO Syros Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 73 knots and a distance of 62 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from 360 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 19 knots and no crosswind.
The total landing distance was 216 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used 36 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at LGSO Syros Airport, achieving a high score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 13.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,531 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 78 knots, registering at 73 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 62 meters. The aircraft's descent rate was firm, at -345 feet per minute, which is a good indicator of a controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a headwind of 19 knots. The wind direction was from the north, which was perpendicular to the runway, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. The runway length at LGSO Syros Airport is 1,014 meters, which provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance was 216 meters, which is only 21% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing, with minimal braking required to bring the aircraft to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in navigating the aircraft during the landing phase.
Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at LGSO Syros Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was completed with a high degree of safety and efficiency.
