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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,572 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 160 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 21L, with a takeoff distance of 182 meters, which was 5% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 91 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started over the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,296 feet above sea level to 9,881 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,585 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began over Thrakomakedones, lasting 16 minutes and covering 59 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 3 miles southeast of Skiathos, descending from 9,657 feet above sea level to 2,084 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,573 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 10 miles northeast of Glossa, lasting 5 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at Skiathos Island National Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 190.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,769 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 19, which had a length of 1,572 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 84 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 159 meters, and the touchdown speed was 77 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -193 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 173°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 420 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 105 nautical miles, taking 39 minutes, and the aircraft used 93 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport, achieving a score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 190.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,769 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 84 knots, registering at 77 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 159 meters was considered good, and the aircraft maintained a stable descent rate of -193 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a moderate headwind of 11 knots. The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, which further contributed to the smooth execution of the landing. The total landing distance of 420 meters was only 27% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and descent rate.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
