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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,879 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the DA40-NG began with an enroute level cruise starting 1 mile northeast of Rorschach, Switzerland, lasting less than a minute and covering less than 1 nm. The aircraft then began an enroute climb from the same location, climbing from 2,229 ft asl to 2,438 ft asl in less than 1 minute, covering 1 nm.
Following this, there was another enroute level cruise segment starting overhead Horn, Switzerland, lasting 6 minutes and covering 9 nm. The next phase of the flight was an enroute descent starting 1 mile southwest of Friedrichshafen, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from 2,339 ft asl to 2,070 ft asl, a decrease of 269 ft in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm.
After the descent, there was a brief enroute level cruise segment starting 1 mile southwest of Friedrichshafen, lasting less than a minute and covering less than 1 nm. Another enroute descent followed from the same location, taking the aircraft from 2,015 ft asl to 1,840 ft asl, a decrease of 175 ft in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm.
The final enroute level cruise segment started overhead Friedrichshafen and lasted 21 minutes, covering 1 nm. The landing took place on runway 06 at EDNY Friedrichshafen, with a runway length of 1,879 m. The height at threshold was 41 ft agl and the speed at threshold was 63 kn. The touchdown occurred 365 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 52 kn and a VSI of -231 ft/m. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 °C, wind at 1 kn from 270 °, with a crosswind of 0 kn and a tailwind of 1 kn.
The total landing distance was 891 m, which was 47% of the total runway length. The total flight distance for the journey was 15 nm, taking 12 minutes and consuming 5 kg of fuel.
