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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,395 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 239 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the PC-24 Air Ambulance taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LETP Santo Tome Del Puerto Airfield. This process took 18 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Once at the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 538 meters, which was 90% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 110 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 279 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of LETP Santo Tome Del Puerto Airfield, and climbed from an altitude of 4,638 feet above sea level to 45,693 feet above sea level, an increase of 41,055 feet, in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 161 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Valdealgorfa, in the Aragon region of Spain, and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 264 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 104 miles northeast of Es Castell, in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears region of Spain. The descent took 27 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 44,522 feet in altitude, from 45,573 feet above sea level to 1,052 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 27 at LFKO Propriano Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 276.0 degrees, at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,026 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 239 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 107 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 283 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 592 meters, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 572 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 977 kilograms.
The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at LFKO Propriano Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 276.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,026 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 23°C, with a moderate wind blowing at 12 knots from 283°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft's speed and alignment were well-maintained throughout the approach, with a threshold speed of 116 knots and a touchdown speed of 107 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed and rate of descent were within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance was 239 meters, which is considered good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 592 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the PC-24 Air Ambulance's landing at LFKO Propriano Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout. The high score of 97.5% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in handling the aircraft in challenging weather conditions.
