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: no landing flap set and centreline 2.3° off, against a 1° limit.
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 2,438 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KLXV Lake County Airport took approximately 10 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 34, with the aircraft reaching liftoff speed of 94 kt at 1,238 meters, which equated to 64% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 13 °C, with a wind speed of 17 kt at 329°, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 16 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from KLXV, it began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Leadville, Colorado, at an altitude of 10,943 ft asl. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to 14,077 ft asl, an increase of 3,134 ft in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 13 miles southwest of Red Cliff, Colorado, lasting 8 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 6 miles northeast of El Jebel, Colorado, with the aircraft descending from 13,769 ft asl to 8,579 ft asl, a decrease of 5,190 ft in 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. A subsequent climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 8,578 ft asl to 9,322 ft asl, an increase of 744 ft in 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 159.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,614 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 87 kt, and the touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 83 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of 144 fpm was considered perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 62 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 35 minutes and a fuel consumption of 34 kg.
The final approach to runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) was executed from the north, with the aircraft NI22PC, a Piper Aerostar 600, descending from 1,614 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles. The approach was conducted on a heading of 159.0°, with a good threshold height achieved. The threshold speed, however, was slightly below the target at 87 knots, indicating a slight deceleration prior to touchdown.
The aircraft touched down 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 83 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate of 144 feet per minute was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 14°C, with a wind of 15 knots from 273°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,017 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.4%, reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot.
