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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,298 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted using a Honda HA420 aircraft, departing from runway 15 at UB10 Lenkoran. The takeoff distance was 2,506 meters, which is 76% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 118 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it took 12 seconds to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds. The pattern downwind turn covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 54.0 degrees. The downwind leg of the pattern was 8 nautical miles long and took 123 seconds to complete. The base leg turn covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 16.9 degrees.
The final approach to runway 15 was made from the northwest, with a heading of 153.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 418 feet above ground level. The landing was conducted with a threshold speed of 107 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance was 386 meters, and the touchdown speed was 94 knots, both of which were also considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -43 feet per minute.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 120 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 943 meters, which is 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 meters.
The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 59 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at UB10 Lenkoran, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 153.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 418 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 107 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 386 meters. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -43 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline, which could have been caused by a slight drift during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing, but the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were able to mitigate these effects.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and control during the landing roll.
