Be on speed by the gate
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 six 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: speed 70 kt FAST on the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,847 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 48 ft short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 31, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 134 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,459 feet represented 19% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 62°F and a light headwind of 1 knot from a northerly direction.
As the aircraft climbed away from Topeka, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 2,180 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 25,013 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 55 nautical miles and took approximately 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 38 minutes as it covered a distance of 317 nautical miles. This phase concluded near KMCI Kansas City International Airport, where the aircraft began its enroute descent phase. The descent from 24,999 feet to 1,953 feet took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft descending from 4 nautical miles away and 1,206 feet above ground level. Touchdown occurred before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 101 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -374 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 458 nautical miles was completed in 71 minutes, with no fuel consumed during the flight.
The final approach to runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport was conducted from the east, aligning with the heading of 252.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,206 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a steady descent rate and a stable airspeed. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, indicating a good sense of timing from the pilot. The touchdown speed of 101 kt was within the acceptable range, and the firm touchdown rate of -374 fpm suggested a controlled and deliberate landing.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment. Despite this, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt. These conditions contributed to a relatively short landing distance of 1,348 ft, which accounted for only 17% of the available runway length.
The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the centreline. The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.5%. The pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills, and the aircraft responded well to the landing configuration.
