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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above 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 5,954 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,596 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 23 at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN), with a takeoff distance of 2,682 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 58°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Queenstown International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 2,049 feet above sea level to 44,858 feet above sea level, an increase of 42,809 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 12 miles north of Geraldine, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Amberley, and descended from 44,962 feet above sea level to 3,058 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,904 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 14 miles northeast of Cape Campbell airstrip, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles southwest of Wellington International Airport, and descended from 2,988 feet above sea level to 2,373 feet above sea level, a decrease of 616 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles south of Wellington International Airport, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at Wellington International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 16.0° at an altitude of 1,763 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown point 176 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -164 feet per minute, which was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 350°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 25 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,395 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 361 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,923 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 16.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,763 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 119 knots. The touchdown point was 176 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 102 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 25 knots, which the aircraft was able to handle effectively.
The total landing distance of 2,395 feet was 40% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
Overall, the landing of aircraft C750 at Wellington International Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and handling of the aircraft in challenging weather conditions. The score of 96.0% reflects the high standard of the landing, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
