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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, off the runway's 4° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the runway's 4° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,137 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,137 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 145 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 17 at KAIG Langlade County Airport. The takeoff distance was 393 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots, a headwind of 0 knots, and a calm atmosphere overall. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KAIG Langlade County Airport, and reached an altitude of 2,740 feet above sea level, an increase of 945 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of KAIG Langlade County Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 3,184 feet to 5,861 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,677 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 74 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 50 miles east of Calumet, and descended from 5,850 feet to 3,366 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,485 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 11 miles north of CYSP Marathon Airport, and descended from 2,918 feet to 2,176 feet above sea level, a decrease of 742 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at CYSP Marathon Airport was made from the north, heading 155.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 888 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 143 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 54 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 402 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 267 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 141 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at CYSP Marathon Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 155.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 888 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. The threshold speed of 61 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good touchdown distance of 143 meters, which is a significant achievement considering the runway length of 1,137 meters.
The touchdown speed of 54 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive. This suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant loss of control.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach, making it easier for the pilot to control the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 402 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of control during the rollout phase. Overall, the Cessna C172 aircraft demonstrated excellent landing skills and control, achieving a score of 93.4% and showcasing a high degree of precision and stability.
