Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,841 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,139 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza began with a smooth departure from runway 31 at KSUN Friedman Memorial. The takeoff was efficient, with a distance of 829 ft required to achieve liftoff at a speed of 87 kn. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were favorable, with a temperature of 61 °F and a light wind of 1 kn coming from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
Once enroute, the climb started overhead Hailey, Idaho, with the aircraft ascending from 6,361 ft above sea level to 8,225 ft, covering a distance of 3 nm in just 2 minutes. The smooth climb resulted in an altitude increase of 1,865 ft.
The descent phase of the flight began 2 miles east of KSUN Friedman Memorial Hailey, with the aircraft descending from 8,240 ft to 7,946 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nm. The descent was efficient, with a decrease of 294 ft in altitude.
The landing back at KSUN Friedman Memorial was executed on runway 31, which has a length of 5,841 ft. The touchdown was smooth, occurring 1,139 ft from the threshold at a speed of 71 kn. The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) showed a descent rate of -48 ft/min. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 60 °F and a light wind of 1 kn from 269°.
Overall, the landing distance was 2,184 ft, which accounted for 37% of the total runway length. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance covered was 14 nm, with a total flight time of 10 minutes. The aircraft used 14 lbs of fuel for the entire flight, indicating fuel efficiency.
