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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 745 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 745 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 116 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSPU Münster Airfield was a swift process, taking less than a minute to cover the short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 04, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 68 knots. The takeoff distance of 564 meters accounted for 64% of the runway length, indicating a relatively efficient departure. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 13°C, with a gentle wind of 6 knots from 153°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it transitioned into the enroute phase, commencing its ascent overhead LSMC Ulrichen Ulrichen in the Canton du Valais, Switzerland. The climb from 5,326 feet above sea level to 5,968 feet above sea level, an increase of 641 feet, was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at LSMC Ulrichen, descending from 1,454 feet above ground level at a heading of 28.0°, approximately 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on the 745-meter-long runway, with a touchdown distance of 113 meters, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed of 83 knots was fast, while the touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute was fair.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 405 meters accounted for 54% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The total flight distance of 13 nautical miles was achieved in 6 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4 kilograms.
The Bonanza G36 touched down on runway 05 at LSMC Ulrichen, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was above the target, registering 86 kt. This slight deviation from the optimal speed did not significantly impact the subsequent phases of the landing. The aircraft's touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 113 m, but the touchdown speed of 83 kt was somewhat faster than desired, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -216 fpm.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.4 m. Despite this minor deviation, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the critical phase of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 156 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The overall performance of the Bonanza G36 during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.7%. The aircraft's ability to maintain a good threshold height and demonstrate precise control during the rollout phase were notable strengths. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and minor misalignment from the centreline were areas for improvement.
