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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,127 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 514 m past the threshold — beyond 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 20 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 19 at EYVI Vilnius International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,186 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 209 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of EYVI Vilnius International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,602 feet above sea level to 36,093 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,491 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northwest of Birzai, Lithuania, and lasted for 287 minutes, covering a distance of 1,225 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 84 miles south of ENSA Svea Airport, Svea, Norway, and descended from 35,951 feet above sea level to 1,464 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,487 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear, was made from the east, heading 294.0 degrees, at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,385 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 2,127 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,143 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,440 nautical miles, which was covered in 225 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,228 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as B38M, successfully landed at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear, with a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 294.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,385 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 kt, registering at 144 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was located 99 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -128 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 9 kt from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 8 kt, while the tailwind component was 2 kt. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and ability to navigate the aircraft safely.
The total landing distance of 1,143 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, without compromising safety. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, further demonstrating the pilot's expertise and control of the aircraft during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing of the B38M aircraft at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear, was a successful and well-executed operation, with a high score of 98.6%. The pilot's skill and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases, and the aircraft's performance was characterized by good speed control, smooth touchdown, and efficient rollout.
