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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 952 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 952 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 295 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16 at LIRJ Marina Di Campo Airport, with a takeoff distance of 337 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots blowing from 144°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,001 feet above sea level to 2,686 feet, an increase of 1,684 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles south east of Porto Azzurro and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 2,623 feet above sea level to 1,205 feet, a decrease of 1,418 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by another level cruise, which started 3 miles north west of Marciana Marina and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at LIRJ Marina Di Campo Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 150.0° and at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 295 meters and a touchdown speed of 82 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots blowing from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 665 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 38 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 23 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 48 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a M500, successfully landed at LIRJ Marina Di Campo Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 150.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 952 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at a good 91 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 295 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 82 knots was slightly higher than ideal, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The descent rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 665 meters was 70% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 86.5%.
