Get the gear down before the gate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set and centreline 4.9° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up and centreline 2.3° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Carcassonne Airport, runway 27, the Black Square Caravan Professional Amphibian N511KG began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to the runway threshold. Following a smooth departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 77 kt, utilizing 31% of the available runway length of 564 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 20 °C, with a wind of 17 kt blowing from 300°, resulting in a headwind component of 15 kt and a crosswind component of 7 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it began a climb from 1,535 ft above sea level to 2,600 ft, increasing its altitude by 1,065 ft in just 1 minute while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Caux-et-Sauzens, and the aircraft subsequently entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 2,600 ft for 5 minutes as it covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The cruise phase concluded overhead Arzens, and the aircraft then commenced a descent to 1,913 ft, decreasing its altitude by 581 ft in 2 minutes while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent phase was initiated overhead Fendeille, and the aircraft subsequently entered the final approach phase.
The final approach to landing ground 1 mile north east of Salles-sur-l'Hers was characterized by a smooth descent from 1,109 ft above ground level to 0 ft, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 65 kt and a rate of -156 fpm. The touchdown distance was 322 meters, and the landing rollout was completed in 150 meters, with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 21 minutes and a fuel consumption of 44 kg.
The final approach to landing ground 1 mile north east of Salles-sur-l'Hers (Occitanie, France) was executed with precision, with the aircraft descending from 1,109 ft agl to 1 nm at 1 nm. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a gentle rate of descent that allowed for a smooth transition to the landing phase. The aircraft maintained a steady heading, aligning itself with the centreline of the runway.
As the aircraft touched down 1 mile north east of Salles-sur-l'Hers (Occitanie, France), the touchdown speed of 65 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -156 fpm was also satisfactory, demonstrating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 322 m was within the expected parameters, further indicating a successful landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a headwind of 11 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The landing rollout 1 mile north east of Salles-sur-l'Hers (Occitanie, France) was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 801 ft asl.
