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 seven 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 and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 244 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 to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 27 at EDDW Bremen Airport. The takeoff distance was 260 meters, which is 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bremen Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 9,964 feet above sea level. This climb started overhead the airport and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles in 14 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 8,923 feet. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles north of Vollersode, Germany. This cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile east of Oerel, Germany, and descending from 10,053 feet to 4,985 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile northwest of Grunendeich, Germany. This cruise lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, this time starting overhead Jersbek, Germany, and descending from 4,952 feet to 2,721 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile southwest of Elmenhorst, Germany. This cruise lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 231.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,501 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 231 meters and a touchdown speed of 48 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were also a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 87 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 29 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,501 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 66 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly late in configuring the aircraft for landing.
The touchdown distance of 231 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. The touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft to a safe speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as smooth, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled descent.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position relative to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as a temperature of 3°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. However, the pilot's skills and experience were sufficient to overcome these conditions and achieve a successful landing.
