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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,210 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Baron taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field), a distance of 2 nautical miles covered in 8 minutes. The departure roll took place on runway 33, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,977 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°F temperature and a wind of 4 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile north of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 8,668 feet above sea level to 13,846 feet, an increase of 5,178 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 8 miles northeast of Basalt, Colorado, with the aircraft descending from 13,770 feet to 8,492 feet, a decrease of 5,278 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at Eagle County Regional Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 259.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 2,006 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 took place with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 92 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 1,201 feet, accounting for 32% of the runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 81 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°F temperature. The total landing distance was 2,581 feet, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 32 nautical miles, taking 19 minutes, and the aircraft used 48 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a Baron, successfully landed at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 259.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 2,006 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 25, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 92 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 1,201 feet, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 81 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm). Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°F, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 2,581 feet was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
