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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 561 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 29 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a P-750 XSTOL, then departed from runway 04 at Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport at the standard operating time of sunrise. The takeoff distance was 472 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 83 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 109 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport, rising from an altitude of 410 feet above sea level to 911 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile south of Albina, Suriname, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase 3 miles west of Albina, rising from 1,186 feet to 1,920 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by a prolonged level cruise phase that lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles, and started 6 miles west of Albina.
The final approach to runway 11 at Zorg en Hoop Airport in Paramaribo, Suriname, was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 61.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 11, which had a length of 561 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 76 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 28 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 76 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 99 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 426 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters. The total flight distance was 81 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used 38 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The P-750 XSTOL aircraft successfully landed at SMZO Zorg en Hoop Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 61.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, touching down at 76 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 99°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 426 meters, accounting for 76% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the P-750 XSTOL was impressive, demonstrating its capabilities as a versatile and reliable aircraft.
