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 2,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the DA40-NG started with a departure roll on runway 21 at LTAE Akinci AB. The takeoff distance was 284 meters, which was 8% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 79 knots. The local weather at the departure airport was 16°C with a wind of 1 knot coming from 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb began 1 mile southwest of LTAE Akinci AB Ankara, with the aircraft climbing from 3,748 feet above sea level (asl) to 5,399 feet asl. This was an increase of 1,651 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles southwest of LTAE Akinci AB Ankara, with the aircraft descending from 5,417 feet asl to 4,097 feet asl. This was a decrease of 1,320 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 11 at LTAD Etimesgut AB, which had a runway length of 2,452 meters. The height at the threshold was 26 feet above ground level (agl), and the speed at the threshold was 67 knots. The touchdown occurred 341 meters from the threshold at a speed of 59 knots, with a vertical speed indicator (VSI) reading of -35 feet per minute. The local weather at the destination airport was 15°C with a wind of 1 knot coming from 270°, resulting in a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,086 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The total flight distance covered was 14 nautical miles, taking 1,494 minutes and using 2 kilograms of fuel.
