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: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,351 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,009 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at SCFA Andrés Sabella Gálvez International Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 1,968 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south of SCFA Andrés Sabella Gálvez International Airport, Antofagasta. The climb began at an altitude of 1,327 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 29,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,682 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered enroute level cruise, starting 21 miles south of SCPA Paranal Airport, Antofagasta. This phase of the flight lasted 47 minutes and covered a distance of 256 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles south east of SCEC Pelícano Airport, Estacion Chañaral. The descent from 28,510 feet above sea level to 3,856 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,654 feet, took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 10 miles west of SCVN Huancara Airport, Vicuña. This phase of the flight lasted only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 12 miles east of SCSE La Florida Airport, La Serena-Coquimbo. The descent from 3,419 feet above sea level to 2,609 feet above sea level, a decrease of 810 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 9 miles south east of SCSE La Florida Airport, La Serena-Coquimbo. This phase of the flight lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at SCSE La Florida Airport, approaching from the south east at a heading of 301.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,351 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 30 at SCSE La Florida Airport, which had a length of 6,351 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 87 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,004 feet, and the touchdown speed was 76 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 2,565 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 422 nautical miles, and the flight took 99 minutes. The aircraft used 660 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at SCSE La Florida Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,351 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 87 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,004 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 76 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle touchdown.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 21 feet off the centerline. This deviation may be attributed to the crosswind component of 4 knots, which could have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory overall.
